If you go back to E-85 on a bigger turbo setup you will most likely be pushing the limits of your block and will be well past your trannys ability without spending some hella cash.

There are lots of folks running e85 on an FP red pushing 450 hp and 450 TQ stock block.

There are a lot of people that made those numbers then their motor threw the deuces shortly after. There aren't many people running for long with that power on the stock internals. It's your SST that will start throwing a fit before the motor most likely.

I'm just saying that if you're planning on turning it up those power levels it's a lot cheaper to build the block before hand than blow it up and rebuild it. You could do a mild hone and drop in pistons/rods/cams/valve springs for probably about 3.5k including parts and labor and potentially save yourself about 6-7k if you don't and the motor blows really screwing some things up.

Who knows. Bottom line; its not the tune thats defective or bad or anything else.

Calvin pushed the boost higher but the car made no more power so he backed it off a bit. Im truely at the limit of this turbo now.

Like Kracka said I picked up a LOT of low and mid range all the way up to the end. The car is ALMOST as fast on pump now as it was on E85. I am doing a bigger turbo and cams and then we will see whats what.

If the torque is not too dangerous high I will so an e85 tune for grins. I do also plan on upgrading the tranny as well but it all takes money and Bill Gates... I am NOT.
i don't know man, i just think your not maxing the setup you have out. an almost completely stock 9 on stock turbo and pump gas puts those numbers down.


tell ya what, bring the car to us, we can go to kan, do a dyno pull as is, change a few things, tune it, and if we can't beat it, i wont charge you for anything, and i'll even pay for the dyno time and your gas to get there

The green is not on the car as of yet nor are the CAMS. Working on a small tuning issue.

Well its official. The car is at COBB for the FP Green Turbo and CAMS/Valve Springs.

Make your official HP and TQ guess here. 93 octane

My guess - 402/404
Mondo - 393/387
Kracka - 385/380
