What would make more power... This Vs That
What I have:
VRSF CP / TiAL / Gutted DPs / DCI / TCU Flash / PE Mod Vishnu Procede 2.5 / Custom Procede Maps Vishnu PWM Methanol Kit Older Wedge DME Flash that I did with my BT Cable What I'm thinking about: VRSF CP / TiAL / Gutted DPs / DCI / TCU Flash / PE Mod Intercooler (VRSF $500) E85 Fuel-It Stage 2 Pump ($405) Cheapest Cobb ? / BQ Tuning (Any ideas on $ ?) What do you guys think?

So the difference is a PRocede with meth no FMIC VS Cobb with FMIC on E85?
That would be pretty darn close. I'd put my money on the meth kit assuming it's tuned for max power but on paper they are probably pretty close on power. |

Octane plus IAT supression is pretty hard to beat on methanol. I've put a lot of FBO E85 guys to shame running Intake tune Meth, no FMIC, just saying... Although E85 helps bump up octane it doesn't help the IAT suppression and even the best intercooler won't suppress IAT like methanol can. |

I may be a little biased about methanol cars but yea it would be really close for sure. In a real world race I'd want to know if they are AT or MT and how heavy the drivers are as the race might be that close. I still always bias for anyone on methanol though cause it's hard to beat the IAT suppression.

Sounds like I should keep current setup!
New Question and this one would be for WedgePerformance and BuraQ Would it be possible to assign the PROcede I have as only a methanol controller, as well as flash a tune using my BT Cable through the B.B. Software - As I did my original Wedge Flash. That way the only thing I would need would be a BQ Tune through you and a Fuel-It Stage 2 Pump - Saving me the cost of a $800+ Cobb I'd imagine I could even go with 100% E85 at that point versus a blend (not for increase performance - but for ease of use).
