Looks good, I am starting a sonic blue vert turbo build at the moment aswell. basically the same except for im staying with the six speed and my motors getting built with 9.5-1 compression. I'm just waiting for all my parts to arrive so I can begin. Are you staying pump gas? or any plans to run meth?

Nice build, youll be glad you went with an auto!

WOW!!! That is gonna be fast!!!!! Go big or go home right!! LOL For now I am just gonna enjoy the car. Most likely I will go Meth.

Thanks!!! I had the auto last year and love it a ton! After 550whp it just makes sense to go auto.

Very nice man! I'd recommend running e85 exclusively if its readily available to you. Good luck.

Awesome build!

Thank you. I might do E85 tune, I have pumps 1 mile from my house. Makes sense to at least see what it will do with E85!

Ya I know it's overkill a tuner blew my motor up last year and it pissed me off, the car is pretty much will be a dd street car. Shooting for 700 rwhp on a safe tune, running pump gas 94 octane if I'm able to LOL. The boost will be turned down a bit for daily use. Pretty sweet another sonic blue vert,is going turbo at pretty much the same time.

Dude, trust me, run e85 full time. It's the ONLY way to go on these big power cars, and you will make way more power to boot......safely. You will need larger injectors of course, but that is a pittance really. With e85 readily available in your area, running regular pump gas should not even be considered and I am sure many here would agree with me.

Meth>e85 for a car that sees a lot of street driving. Marginal power difference but way better gas mileage.

LOL @ gas mileage. e85 is far superior as an everyday fuel over a shot of meth and premium gas. Gas mileage on an 800+ HP car shouldn't even be part of the equation. It's much easier to just put bigger injectors on it and fill it up with the right fuel. Plus its more reliable and safer. I guess we'll just agree to disagree on it, but I can't see how anyone building a high HP car would choose to run regular gas when they have e85 readily available. Either way the OP goes, I wish him the very best of luck.

I guess it just doesn't make sense to me that people are fine with 150-160miles per tank and using so much extra fuel even when they aren't making big power just putting around town. Hell even planning a trip a few hours from home can leave you google searching where to get e85 or having to haul around gas cans. No doubt it is an awesome fuel but its far from practical IMO. Btw last year I averaged 25mpg highway and 18 city. This year making 800hp it should get the same if not better. For a street driven car gas mileage is nice to have no matter what people say.
