the plan so far

So, been reading on here of a lot of people getting great power with the E85 conversion. I was looking into this when i discovered no station in my area sells E85, Is this normal? Or do i just live in Small town Texas?

Is this my best option for the best power? I have been running 93 octane tune, and was just going to stay with that through my mods.

Right now I'm just K&N CAI,sct x4 stock changes, Mishimoto cooling hoses, Borla atak axle back (about to do TSP 1 7/8 headers keeping cats) (daily driver) and will do the rest of the exhaust with the headers.
plan is to by end of the year to do a TSP stage 1 cam kit and tune. i have found my shop to help me out with it and going in to dyno soon then to find a day to go to a track to run for times (any suggestion for tracks? I'm in the Longview/Tyler Tx area)

Shreveport has a track but not sure when they run out there.

Headers with tune will be your best power. E85 is nice but if you can't get it why bother. Sounds like you're on the right path. Bring it up to Camaro Fest in July and get all kinds of track time.

Ah yes, that was it...

Isn't there something in Bossier City too off 220.

All else fails come visit us in Houston. Lots of track time available...
