Not true.If your NA you won't need that large of an injector,although a larger injector would be required to run E85 NA.The only gain IMO opinion would be cheaper prices and MAYBE a tiny bit of more power.Not 100% on that though.

NA you will need 60's at the max, maybe 42's. You can gain power by leaning it a little more maybe and higher timing. Gas mileage will suffer but you can try to counter with timing in part throttle. Most I got on the 2.0 is 24 MPG on 100% E85.

When E85 didnt go up in price and gas sky rocketed I was getting better dollar per gallon with E85. Now its a little worse.

0 compression in one cylinder is hard to do, blown motor or not. I asked him to perform a leak down test or pull the valve cover to see if there were any damaged valves or rockers that fell off. This was the picture he sent after he pulled the valve cover.



Hope nothing too bad happened to the head.

^I believe only 7k on a stock head I typically wont go above that. I asked if on the run in question when the issue happened if he over spun the motor and no response yet. He should have seen the shift light if he did. I too hope the head is OK.

He *knows* I can box! So check it out, it's like this: If I lose, winner takes my car clean and clear. But if I win, I take the cash, *and* I take the respect!
