you're ridiculously contradicting. going from a proper E50 tune to E85 tune w/ supporting fuel mods, you'll see a major gain in torque

at E50 power levels you're already risking transmission. going to E85 will put further at risk. upgrading turbo will put further at risk.

solution: fuel mods, E85, ask to remain at same power levels... spending all that money just to stand in one gas pump. that's it. that's the thread. don't question me. done.

You’re not risking the transmission under 600hp. Chill.

You absolutely are if you don't de-tune your low & mid RPM's to reduce your peak torque. Plenty of dyno sheets of guys with ~500 WHP making 600+ torque on this platform.

Torque, not horsepower. You could make 520whp peak but be way over the torque limit for the trans down low/mid range.

Yeah, the tune will definitely be under that.

Yeah, sorry for misspeaking.

Good examples of two different tunes for 550whp. One would make your trans complain, one would make it complain less.

I love less complaining.

All these parts, tuning, and expenses for some engine bay aesthetics.. Why not just buy the main visual components, install them, and not activate them? No performance anything would change. Seems like the easiest solution.

Awesome, another person who worries about how another person spends.

If you read, "Seems like the easiest solution", states that adding the components avoids a lot of the additional headache if you're just going doing it for aesthetics. You said you weren't doing it for more power, so why mess with what is already there besides adding your visuals. Has nothing to do with how you spend your money and more to do with the path of least resistance.

Not purely aesthetic as I just want to pump e85 without having to mix.

The least resistance seems to upgrade the turbo and be done with it, which I am going to do now.
