Lethal stats that id1300 wont work with stock PCM in our cars? Is that ture

don't listen to them. they're not tuners. I'm running id1000's on that same fuel system, stock pcm, whipple 2.9 and race gas. find a good reputable tuner and ask what they recommend for your setup.

i thought most of those guys had upgraded to ARP2000 rod bolts and possibly head studs as well

I didn't say the motor would last forever at that power lol
Where he's looking to go there shouldn't be any issues.

I'd be 10X more concerned pushing 662 on pump gas at 17psi than I would running 725 wheel on E85 22psi. 662 pump gas is probably way too much timing for my tastes.

Ethanol itself is the greatest safety device ever considered for these cars.....it will not detonate and burns completely even across the top of the piston......a far cry from what that pump gas is doing in your cylinders right now. The internals on these motors are rock solid tough.....what is not are the rings and top of the pistons. Those are the items shiitty pump gas will expose as the weak links very quickly if you push it. Pump gas burns very uneven and has hot n cold spots all along the susceptible problem areas.

You got some great advice in this thread, and recommending E85 was some of the best. @c6zhombre explained the advantage well and I'm glad you're now planning on a switch. Report back after you convert in the Spring/Summer.
