2.7 68 MM. It may well make more power on a 2.9 with your tune and less torque? Not sure, will get stuck back into it soon. I am doing PCV dipstick mock ups right now and may not go back to single pass because of packaging the darn dipstick drainback...undecided...

Question on tvs. I have read a ton of threads and have pretty much decided to go the tvs route. The only thing is I really do not want to run E85. This is a semi daily driver and i know the mpg on E85 is not that great. So the question is "Is it really worth it to go tvs if i am not going to run E85" Will meth injection run similar numbers?. My goal is to get around 320-330 whp. Thoughts?

A lot of guys myself included run meth as e85 isn't widely available yet. I have it about ten miles away, but only one station. So I'm sticking with meth for now. My tune is far from aggressive and I achieved what your looking for with bolt ons. it is possible.
