I'm really digging this build thread. Thank you for keeping us updated.
I'm also stoked to find out the results of these particular mods since Seb is my tuner as well. I was mulling doing the 3 inch intakes and perhaps a flex fuel kit to see if there was a little more to enjoy from an N/A build.
My main concern is I don't want to sacrifice low end torque for top end hp. Porting and larger intakes moves the power to the right in the rpm range ,IIRC, creating a narrower power band. However, Moncef from Admin tuning claims that his 3inch intakes gain power all thru the rpm range. That would be great! I'm just a daily driver, not much for drag racing (yet).

Are those the filters that came with the RZG intake? They look different than their website. Trying to figure out how big of a filter you can put on there without having to modify the crash bar. Then I would get the correct size velocity stack.

Base run I had
3.69 fd
Fi 2.25" HFC
Fi 2.25 exhaust
After
Replaced HFC with test pipes
Admin 3" intakes
Admin 93 tune
Don't focus on the max hp number. Focus on the before & after gains.
No torque readings due to rpm signal issues at high rpm.

That’s why I’m hoping there’s money in the budget to go E85 more power..
91 octane is what’s holding me back . I upped my budget hoping it’s enough
I’m going to buy some track rims and tires and run the car later this year..
only problem is Track elevation: 1961.9 ft.

Damn, no crash bar lol. So if I kept the filters that came with it do you know what size velocity stacks I would need? Thanks for the help. Can't wait to see when this beast is done.

I am pretty sure you have to get gtr injectors to run corn. I saw a Specialty Z ad earlier this year for their flex kit that said so. The stock mafs may run out of range as well with 3 inch intakes but I'm not totally sure about that. Seb will know. I'm going to have to sh@%# or get off the pot on this soon.
There will be more power there for sure on corn. I have 2 tunes- 91 and 93. I always run 93. It' just runs better, feels a bit faster.

May have to wait for the corn till end of year..even upping my budget Seb doesn’t think there will be enough to tune and install everything for E85..after pulling the engine he says he now has to pull the transmission and the engine off the crossmember and pull the secondary oil pan to replace the oil pump..
