Currently FP green on e85, debating fp red

[JTNKTZ]

Soooo long story short, I got about 3k miles on this set up and made 530whp/550tq on e85 (actual e70). Then I blew head gaskets on both sides. Not quite sure what happened but turned into a complete tear down of IAG stage 2.5 block. Bearings showed abnormal wear blah blah blah. Not important.

I kinda want to hit the 600whp club. But this was a purpose built street car. I wanted boost to kick in asap, and I did everything I could to make that happen.

So I'm thinking about going with a FP Red to get me there as the green is maxed out for sure.

Current build:
IAG Stage 2.5 Closed Deck
B25 heads - Full PnP, GSC S2 272 Cams, GSC STD Valves, GSC P-D Dual Springs, Titanium Retainers, Bronze Guides -
ARP 625+ HeadStuds
OEM Headgaskets
12mm JDM Oil Pump
JDM Hi-Flow 2 Port Water Pump
Oil Heater Delete
Killer B Ultimate Oil Pan, Baffle & Pick Up
Haltech Elite 2500 ECU with Boomslang Harness
Haltech Canbus Wideband Controller
Haltech 12 I/O Expander
Flexfuel/Speed Density

Bolt Ons:
FP Green HTZ Turbine Coated with 84mm Inlet
Torque Solutions AVCS/Turbo SS Braided Oil Feed Line
Id1700x Injectors
Outfront Rails with Socketless -6AN Lines
Turbosmart FPR /wAEM Fuel Pressure Sensor
Fuel Labs 6 Micro Filter
DW400 Fuel Pump Hardwired
NGK Iridium IX 1 Step Colder .022-.024 Gap LFR7AIX
Killer B Holy Headers Swaintech Coated 38mm Tial MV-S Wastegate (17.40 PSI Black, Blue)
IAG v2 TGV Deletes with 19MM KSTech Phenolic Spacers
IAG V3 Street AOS
COBB 4 Bar MAP
Chevy OEM 3 Port EBCS
Treadstone 600hp FMIC /w Reverse Intake Manifold
Rife IAT Sensor
SYLTECH - 1/8***8243; MSCS Pressure Temp Combo Sensor
Tial Q BOV 11lb spring
Getadom Cyl 4 Cooling Mod
Cobb CAI system
Cobb Catless 3" Stainless Turbo Back
Mishimoto Radiator
Evil Energy Coolant Reservoir
Aluminati Coolant Expansion Tank
MOTUL Synergie 10w-40
Subaru Blue Super Coolant


Now, everything is going to remain the same except the following:
Pinned mains, ARP case/main bolts (so deck will be shaved a bit)
Shaved heads (just a little)
IAG Cooper Ring Head Gaskets (.051" thickness vs .058" OEM)
GSC +1 Intake Valves, GSC +1 Super Alloy Valves
FluidAmpr 531101 Crank Pulley

So my compression is going to get a bump and my airflow is going to get a bit of a bump due to bigger Valves.

Now, I think FP red will get me to 600whp. But my worry is how high my power band will move. As the purpose is a street car.... if it moves too high, then I'm going to stick with fp green and say oh well. I just don't think I can get anymore power out of the fp green.

Opinions?

What about the BCP500r? I don't think buying a red will be worth it until they put the UHF turbine in it.

I haven't considered that turbo. I'm going to call them later. Their graph looks about the same as my fp green except it doesn't drop off as significantly torque wise.

did you want to stay with the stock location? if not why not go rotated and either with an efr or a Garrett?

Have you given any thought to the fp black? It will get you there without too much trouble. I have a ball bearing black and I get 36psi by about 4800rpm.
