WingzPerformance.com '98 GSX goes E85.. See inside for gains

Figured you guys enjoy the E85 gains.. I know it's not an "evo" but close enough...

All I can say is WOW! E85 outperforms 110octane race gas by a long shot at $2.0 per gallon instead of $8.0 per gallon.

Changes to the setup:
- swapped out PTE1000cc for FIC1600cc injectors.
- road tuned to dial in the air fuel ratios to accommodate the bigger injectors

Overall gains were ~90whp and 100wtq and NO knock with 4-5 more PSI of boosts and 10% more timing. When car tuned on 110octane, it would knock on the dyno whenever boost level exceeds 31PSI. Not sure if I will get tired of saying... no knock pulls after pulls when compared to 110octane. :mrgreen:

run#8 - 549whp/527wtq @30-31PSI on 110octane race gas car went 11.2 @133MPH
run#12 - 639whp/631wtq @35PSI on E85 ... we will soon find out. :fingersx: Lets see if the car will trap 140+MPH.

Here's the dyno chart and pics of how the car sits today

Looks good man, awesome torque/hp. E85 is available in Phoenix now? Tucson has a good amount of stations now.

Thanks guys..

There are about 4-5 stations across Phoenix and surounding areas. I wish we had as many as Tucson though.

I hope shepstage4 tranny holds up to that 600wtq@4500RPM..
