The stickier tires is a great point. It is going to be a necessity for those who wish to up the boost and run better fuels. The day following the dyno, I added 2 more gallons of E85 and it was a completely different driving experience. I was doing a lot of logging and testing of different combinations, so we will see what's next. My personal plan is to have 305s out back here very soon.

I don't know if the charcoal filters make a difference, but I will say that I read that only North America gets them (didn't verify). From a flow standpoint, they definitely impede the flow post airbox, so I removed them just for piece of mind.
From an airflow perspective, there's no reason to run the liners. Just chuck em.

BMC or K&N filters would be a nice bonus while in there.
