Got it done and drove home. The sound is very different. Very mono tone under load. Still has the rasp but more refined. Sounds more like a M3. I think a resonator or two would fix it for sure. Either that or R.T. cats. Will get on it a little tomorrow and see how it feels.
So far nothing has caught fire or melted or fallen off. The fuel mixture is all over the place wrong. To lean almost everywhere except mid-upper throttle in the lower rpm range. Have not really opened it up yet to see what she will do. I switched back to regular gas so I think that I will have enough injector to tune on these for now and switch to bigger next spring for e85.

Well I took a few runs in 1st and 2nd. Data logged and did a little tuning. The latest gas tune I had was not very complete because I never dialed it in so it was a little rich to begin with. A couple percent here and there and got a pretty solid 11-12 afr. Lost about 10hpa on full throttle but I have to say that it feels about as strong as the e85 tune normally does. I had very low timing so I think that there is power in there. I definitely feel the torque is down in the lower power band which is actually nice. It is much smoother to drive. It also does not seem to fall off at all at the end. I pulled up to 7,000 rpm solid in 2nd. I will have to run on the dyno with gas and e85 to see.
As far as sound goes. It is so much better as a daily driver. Not anywhere near as bad of a droning sound. The rasp is definitely stronger on the top end though. Really sounds like an M3 winding up.

Added a little timing and my but dyno is happy. I am going to call and make an appointment for the dyno this week or next. See what it does.
