    if they don't run a small pulley, there's no point to use E85, or at least it won't add much power over regular gas. It's a smaller motor than the R53, so there may already be plenty of boost. Guess it all depends on the size of crank and SC pulley, as always.

    Anyone get the final numbers? I heard a 54% increase - which means if it was 75 hp to start it's now 112 or so?

    I don't think they disclosed any numbers.

    Ya, they did say something like a 54% increase, but of what? A base HP of a supposed similar set up... I think we, like Moog, get to enjoy it for what it is, vicariously.
