I am seriously thinking of getting rid of my Meth kit in favor of e85. I live in San Diego and don't have to worry about the e70 thing because of our mild climate. Since there is an e85 station near work I am really thinking of switching. My only concern in going to e85 is losing power.

 

as long as its tune correctly it will gain alot of power!

 

Good thread as I was thinking of switching to this fuel IF I decide to move out to Vegas. A few good posts in here for sure.

91
E85
VP Import

Thats alot of maps Dave

 

I always wanted to run meth on my car to make good power, but always knew the risks of the system failing, so I was glad when E85 came out and haven't looked back.

 

Three runs...

91 (run 3) = 415whp / 318wtq

91 + meth (run 2) = 493whp / 374wtq

E85 (run 1) = 557whp / 441wtq



I'll take the E85.

 

GST is all that on the same boost levels? I am taking it as its not.

 

probably tuned to each setting though jeff. wether safe or aggressive or whatever. tuned at each level to maximize the settings (boost,timing,afr) i love E85 ill never go back to anything else. no race gas no meth no pump. wish we could get some more stations but ill keep hoping.

 

I think I will just stick with pump/alky for now simply because tuning for 3 fuels will be very pricey and I only have one gas station around me that carries E85 and a lot of the times the pump is out of order. I definately want to run E85 eventually but for now I should be able to crack 500whp on Buschur's dyno with my FP Red and supporting mods on C16 and close to 500whp with pump/alky. Very good thread though so keep it going.

 

30psi and e85 we made 445 on stock ecu! gonna take alot more than that!!

 

I'm pretty much fully built other than my head being ported and I run an AEM. With an FP Green my car made 440whp and 453trq on Buschur's dyno and went 10.9 at 130mph. Now I have added a ported exhaust manifold, FP Red, Forge actuator, and a Buschur coil on plug ignition so we shall see .

 

Nope, all on stock ECU and MAF however.

 

What was the boost level?

 

See sig for boost levels.

 

That is not a good compairion.

 

Why wouldn't you maximize the fuel's potential? Comparing power on different fuels is always going to be apple to oranges.
