I've just finished optimising some engineering in my SS-V Sportwagon for alcohol (flex fuel). Now I have insanely great performance and economy ;)

 
Overall it cost a bit less than a supercharger install, similar output with greater efficiency. Goes better than I expected, tuning some power into it now that it's run-in:
 

 
Basically 14:1 CR, custom AFM Cam gets lift via rockers (like Gen V), tidied heads and valve train, custom Intake and TB, headers and exhaust. 
Stock stall, 3.27 gears, 1.2G takeoff!

Very sweet, love the burbal! :metal:
