So my plan is to make 500HP or more on E-85. My original plan was to get equal length headers, Maperformance open dump, PTE 1000cc injectors, and FP red on 28psi with E85. My current mods are Stock block, Full intercooler piping, ETS FMI, HKS 272's, Walbro 255 and of coarse a CamTuned here in Albuquerque, making 362hp/369tq.
My concern with the setup is ill be happy with it for a short amount of time but then later want to go bigger turbo. Im not really familiar with all these other turbo setups out there that my stock motor can handle. I didnt want to spend no more then $3k to $3,500. Is the FP red gonna satisfy me with 500Hp on E-85?

I have some other customers at 480awhp on the FP Red with less boost and about 435tq which thus far has been successful on the stock short block for quit some time, maybe a year now.
a FP Black will hit a little later in the RPM range and thus the tq could be slightly less but the power could be higher and held out to higher rpm better.
You'll want at least 1250cc injectors and twin walbro to support this much fuel on e85

Yes hurry and get the Black. I would love to see what it will do on your car. Remember 550hp out of a HTA3582 (black) is fairly safe. Just keep the torque below or around 425ish give or take. I ran my stock motor at 540hp/435tq for over a year and we just took the motor apart and English Racing said it looked like is was 400hp and everything looked perfect 
Good luck and let us know if you need anything.

Is that low of torque like that due to the size of the turbo?
Yes the larger the turbo the lower the tq. You will be spooling later in rpms, more lag = less tq. However, if you start to create a lot of cylinder pressure from timing and/or keep tuning the boost up above the turbo effeciancy you are going to start making a lot more torque than if you stayed in the turbos compressor map. Does that answer your question?

What are you taking about low torque? My numbers, or in general?
