Seeing if this is worth it vs paying more money for E85 and just got quoted a expensive 1100 for 3:73 gears and installation which I don’t think is worth the gains

You don't need to port a GEN2R . I made 900 rwhp with the first one.

E85 is a better option by far. As long as you have easy access to it.
I agree, BUT as the end user, you should know all the disadvantages of it. I never see a discussion of pros and cons so I assume most are not in the know.

If you don't drive your car much, stay away from it unless you upgrade all degradable parts to be compatible with alcohol. It is hydrophobic and will eat your components alive on a car not designed with it in mind while it sits. This is only #1 on my rather long list of disadvantages. For me, I stay away from it as far as I can.

Yeah I don’t put many miles on a year maybe 1000 miles a year, I do have a built motor good for a 1000 hp though
