Not feeling bad about 40, but I am a point in my life where I finally want to be a little smarter with my money, and dropping $600/month on a car I drive 500 miles/month is not exactly being smart...

Thanks for the comments. I can see some of your points.
A common comment, though seems to be that if a car was modded for more performance it MUST be driven harder than a stock car.

Maybe a dumb question, but would this flex fuel kit work for switching between, say, race gas and regular 91? I currently run, and am tuned for, a 100 octane equivalent Torco/91 mix. I would like to...

Was looking at Straub, can't swing the cost for CHE. I'll deal with having to use a press before I spend $400 on bushings!

How do engine mods affect vehicle resale?

I'm looking to sell my 2015 SIM 2SS1LE. It's not stock(mods are in my signature).
Question is, will performance mods negatively affect the resale value, or does it really depend on the buyer?...

Wow, this worries me. Nice car with low miles and no bites at UNDER $30k. Good luck man, I need at least $30k for mine just to not come in upside down.

Catless is slightly louder and raspier and you'll get a little bit of fuel smell sitting at intersections, moreso if you're cammed. I personally prefer catless.

You don't even need the secondary o2 sensors after a tune if you tune it, either. Mine are capped off and harnesses stowed away.

And does wonders to spark plugs as well. Doesn't hurt them, but mine are twice as orange as the OP's plugs. I'm running about 97-98 octane equivalent(1 quart per 10 gallons).

Best way to get the most out of e85 on a n/a car is to bump up compression. Mill your heads when you get them ported. Shoot for 12.5 to 13:1. This and e85 should be worth 15-25hp.

Got it, double clutch it is. If I ever decide on more hp, this engine comes out and gets set aside for a Sandrail and I'd do a larger cube, sleeved and forged build from scratch.
