You have to do the cost benefit analysis for yourself. Anyone running boost can see big benefits by running e85. For those not running boost, my rule of thumb would be if the use of race fuel would...

My fan plug burned with just the stock fans running on it. I would definitely just tap into the fan feed as trigger for an additional relay with a separate power source.

That half liter difference between the SS and Zl1 TR6060s is the cooler lines and cooler. When I put diff coolers on my cars they took approximately 4.5 quarts to refill with the cooler in place.

True, but no more costly than CF and would never break at my level. The added weight would be my biggest reason for sticking with a stock shaft.
