Go with the 9.17.

Your builder should be very familiar with Meth. If he isn't, then I might start asking for second opinions locally.

Personally I think by far the best tuner and shop in Florida is Fasterproms/Jeremy Formato. He just moved into a beautiful new shop a year ago or so and he does top notch tuning work. Get in contact with them if you can.

Hope this helps.
This is exactly the info I was looking for, almost made the mistake of going with 9.55. I just bought the car a month ago only has 1200 miles on it, and keeping mods somewhat light until I buy my new Z06/Viper ACR. Also modding is staying light until Maggie 2650 comes out. Id love to go to Faster proms or but I believe they are very far from me.

This sounds like an awesome deal as total cost with tuning for me is closer to $3800 bucks, including headers 2"TSP and Catless Connection pipes which run only $599. Also im doing lower pulley with Balancer so theres added cost there vs doing upper pulley.

You don't need aftermarket injectors to run E85. Or new ones for that matter. The lt4 can handle it.



Good build list. If you can, add meth and as mentioned, you don't need the PCM, so keep the money you were going to use there and add meth injection.

Just do the 2.30 upper and save some coin other than doing the ATI lower. We are all different in our builds. I'd go with the 2.30 upper and the coin I save on the PCM and ATI lower, I'd add meth. Just what I'd do.

FASTERPROMS is a phenomenal shop, and not far from you at all. They're in Lutz, with is basically NE of Tampa. Call it 1:45 drive time.

Woah woah, easy. You don't need them to run a 30-50% mix of E/93 but you are not going to run full E85 on stock injectors. If you were, that's probably because your car was running a 500 shot of Meth and covering for lack of fuel.

I think anything under 3 hours is very reasonable for getting something done right. Take a Saturday or Sunday and schedule it out with a buddy to drop it off and pick it up when she's done.

Very true. I looked at maps as stated it’s only 1:30 min drive.

Is slippage a concern with doing upper? Initially I wanted to do upper but then multiple people and shops said to do lower for better belt wrap.
