[QUOTE="c6zhombre, post: 15989833, member: 76381"] This is not difficult to understand......many people will consider 700 wheel on E85 a good place to stop. That is the sweet spot for the 2.3 blower, and a lot of other factory related components on these cars. Go for 750 wheel + with the larger blowers and a whole multitude of other issues can and will pop up. The heads can lift, the lower can fail (sorry....but it's documented 2.3 and smaller blower failure rates are much lower than bumping up to the larger blowers and going 24+ psi), the factory T56 lives much longer at 700 wheel, aftermarket clutches hold 700 wheel much longer than pushing for more, etc, etc, etc If you want more, then good for you and have fun going for it. We love to read these threads. But no shame in choosing to stay with a 2.3 at 700 wheel. It's a proven recipe and many will consider it a ton of fun for the long term. At the 700 wheel point.....whats another 50? 75? You'd be better off addressing the transmision at that point and just go auto. 750+ wheel isn't very useful with a stick. An auto conversion would be better. [/QUOTE]
