that sounds like a hell of a build, I'm curious about your compression though, are those pistons spec'd for an h22 compression height or an h23? Most pistons are advertised as h22's, then when they are put in with the h23 crank/rods they are a good bit higher then advertised. (maybe you already took that into consideration)

Aside from that you are gonna have to pull a hell of alot of timing out of the ignition maps if thats on pump gas. I'd suggest seeing a tuner. good luck

E85 that beast...... and i dont see why you would need more than the greddy emanage.... sure it limits you somewhat, but for an all motor build it should be fine compared with hondata or crome.....

so you think with higher octane gas and tune the ecu then the car will be good to go or do u think that it will need more. i run 93 in it and i always put a full octane booster in it. is that not enough or do i need more.

Let's start with bigger injectors, and then retune. You should be running at least 93 octane, if not more. And don't use octane boosters, they're crap and will eventually clog up your lines.

Oh man! You have all that money in it and you are just toying with grenading a couple thousand because you haven't completed the most vital step.

You need to get it tuned asap. I hope you haven't heard any pinging.
