If its tuned well you should be all right but remember that these cars have glass pistons. A bad tank of gas could ruin you if your tune is aggressive. Buy it and build it.

Ask the seller what is all done to it and post it here, we cannot tell you if it will blow or not. Hopefully it is not the stock transmission. Ask where and who tuned it.

Worst thing about buying something and not knowing as said being a aggressive tune try get in touch with who tuned it maybe?

kid_conner2006 · 11-22-2012, 10:38 PM

Thanks ...... I will try to get in touch with the tuner

As long as its tuned correct you should be fine. What about E85?

I am running it and putting down more than that.

Wow I guess I should go e85
