Then you sir have a freak of nature of the LNF variety

Never heard of anyone not have at least ONE issue with either of those setups. And you are right, it comes down to KR and tuning.

I agree with fueling type, that is why E85 is so nice. I wish it was more prevalent around here.

Yeah I am on en E mix cause bigger turbo and full E is not possible for me unless I get fifth injector or larger fuel lobe CAM. But E is readily available here in Houston. Not on every corner but close enough that I don't mind the slightly longer drive to get it around town.

My friend Cody (paintballerr78 on here) has been on a pte5557 for 3 years with no issues. 2 years at 430whp and an E blend and this year on 26 psi and E85 making 476whp. Is now on an s259et and still kicking.
