E85 or no?
I need help deciding if i should go from 93 to e85. I only drive the car on weekends (when its not broken) and im just getting a but bored with the power i made during my last tune. I made 340hp on a mustang dyno on 93 and was wondering if e85 would really make a difference as the car sits now. Mods are:
PTE 1000cc injectors
AEM 320 Fuel pump
MAP o2 dump
Buschur FMIC with short route uicp
Buschur 3” vband turbo back
SPOOLINUP COP kit
S90 70mm Throttle Body
anyone know if this will make about 380 on the mustang because thats the ballpark im looking for. Car is also stock block / turbo @25lbs

Yes! The answer is always yes to that question lol. I would suggest though a little more injector though if you are doing e-85 though. Not that it isn't doable on 1000cc injectors but it will help lower your injector duty and also help with your drive-ability as well. Otherwise looks like a pretty stout setup.

I would advise selling off the throttle body and COP kit, since they aren't doing you any good, anyway. Use that money to buy larger injectors and an e85 tune. You would be really pushing the 1000s. Even an extra 50cc would help, so 1050-1200cc would be good. If your FMIC is 3-3.5" then you are good, any larger and you may wanna swap that too. That's all my opinion in regards to maximizing your setup without any cost out of pocket. If you are looking for less work/hustle/bustle then just get an e85 tune with what you have now. You will notice a small gain in power (limited by injectors) but response, torque, and thermal load properties will all be MUCH better. It's really a win/win. I'm not sure about where you live, but my local prices have e85 and pump gas running about even in terms of miles per dollar. Since you have access to 93oct, you may even same some money.
Like I said, just my $.02. I like to get the most out of mods and tunes, so I'm kinda' a minimalist. I don't subscribe to the "install bigger parts so you have room to grow" philosophy because the car tends to suffer in the mean time.

The biggest factor is the availability of e85 in your area. E85 is definitely a better fuel for so many reasons which mainly equate to making more power and keeping the engine happy. In vegas it’s widely available but for a short while last year most stations stopped selling it and I was forced to drive almost an hour each way to fill up. I kept the car on e85 in spite of the hassle but it’s definitely something to think about. Other than the sometimes spotty availability there is no down side in my opinion.

I haven't heard any cases of "injector gunk" over the past year or two, so I feel safer using it, though I still run pump gas through the system ever third tank, or so. It's also good for all the rubber parts.
I do still have a bit of concern over the corrosion I found on my fuel pump and hangar, though. It wasn't bad...yet. But still.
