Stock Internals and MT82 limits, FI preference

[downtime!]

Just a little more food for thought, but there are quite a few stock internal 5.0's running around the area that make over 700, and have been for a while. They're all on E85, seems to give a little extra cushion on the bottom end limits, at least with a decently safe tune.

With that said I would think the 600-650 rwhp range would be just fine. But note that a supercharger roots or centrifugal is always "on" while a turbo is only "working" when you're in the set rpm level.

Agreed always gonna run a little cooler i.e. less chance of detenation running E85
