You will need to invest in some suspension upgrades if you want any hope of using most of that power. After installing my little baby blower I spent 6 months slowly upgrading the suspension until I could hook without blowing the tires off every time I stepped on the happy pedal. For a while it was like I was driving on ice skates.

I wonder what your M90 is capable of with E85 and about 24 degrees of spark in the mix?

I drove mine around today with my clean-up kid in the passenger seat. Other than making him pee his pants a little, I was surprised how well my car drives in traffic and around town. With the 3.31 gears and NT05's (non drag radials), it will take full throttle in 2nd without spinning. It's a lot more fun to drive since I took the 4.10's out of it.
