  1. 4 Sale... When this sells I intend to move up to the TVS2300. I plan on leaving the stuff that doesn't need to come off on my truck and replacing as little as possible. So most of the parts should be new from the 2300 kit.

     

    $4k(Reduced Price see Post #10) or it goes to ebay.. The supercharger has about 5,000 miles

     

    The buyer will have to wait until my new SC arrives before I'll ship this one. So it would be about 1-2 weeks.

     

    This kit will fit a 6.0 L76, and the 6.2 liter and the LY6.

     

    Thanks for looking

  2. Mail order tunes do leave some potential HP on the table some times. A truck with the same mods should benefit from the same tune and realize very similar gains. Your choice of words was

     

    Stiegemeier served you a nice helping of CROW regarding porting the Eaton so why don't you hold yourself to the same standards? Your self-described job description

    My job now is to test aftermarket performance parts and proving or dis proving the claims.
    These are your words so let’s see some real tests. FWIW you can find the thread at nloc.net

     

    Oh and insulting my elf’s like that :nono: I'm sure your A$$/Head reference was just a Freudian Slip.. :jester:

  3. I am only perfect 89% of the time......

     

    Your a HERO in your own mind that's for sure. You must like the taste of shoe leather :P Your so quick to bash others, your claimed improvements from the 90mm are pure BS If the thing was tuned right to begin your not going to see 40rwhp the the 90 and timing...everything else being equal.

     

     

    I really love your comment regarding mail order tunes being crappy, what would you call the tune that comes from Magnason? :puke: I forgot that two elves jumped out of my Radix box and dyno tuned my truck as soon as I opened the Radix box. :yellow_loser:

  4. ethanol/E85 isnt exactly the best when it comes to mpg, why are your looking to convert?

     

    Youre probably better off with high octane given E85 can drop your mpg about 30-40%

     

    Ethanol is also cheaper per gallon than gas. I'd like to see more fuel made in the USA. Having run E85 myself I never saw a 40% drop in my MPG vs gas but I'd still use it even if it did.

  5. You should be able to run up to 20% without having to do anything. After that your LTrims won't be able to compensate. A few people are running E85 in a non flex fuel vehicles. The fuel system is an unknow for ethanol ratios above the 15% or what ever the warranty says... I haven't seen anyone post any part numbers for parts that are different for the flex fuel vehicles other than the injectors.

     

    Brazil has almost 100% of there vehicles running on sugar cane ethanol.

  6. Just seems slightly duplicitous that Zippy polices this site for non-supporting vendor linking but gets ticked off when he gets caught doing it some place else. I'm not bashing you Zip, but calling the guy (Chuck) an **$hole* because you weren't following the same rules you've enforced here seems odd to me...

     

    Zippy how do you find the time to work 50 hour weeks, tune and work on trucks and cars yet have like 10k posts?

  7. Yeah, up until recently, E85 was actually quite a bit cheaper than it is now, and in some places it still is cheaper per mile to run. The "demand exceeding supply" is driving the price up on it actually. In other states where the E85 has to be driven into the holding stations, riding on dino burning trucks, the dino fuel costs are pushing E85 out of reach as a cost effective alternative.

     

    One danger of all of this ethanol push is the genetic mutations of the organisms (mainly yeasts) that turn straw/corn stalks/beans/grass/weeds/sugar cane/etc into ethanol is that something could get released into the food chain that we don't want there. In worst case, it could mutate the yeast into plant eating machines that could clear the whole world of vegetation in less than a decade. Wouldn't that be fun? :eek:

     

    WTF that’s nuts... SS_boon what’s your read on global warming :jester:

     

    I've often wondered why nothing grows around a Jack Daniels distillery. :jester: Its the killer yeast

  8. FWIW, in MN E85 is 15-20% less than gas at the pump.

     

    Jonmalibuss there are far more benefits to using E85 than the environment. And even IF you were using more and paying more, IMHO its the only thing that will save hot rodding. Currently we use 80 million barrels of oil a day and the capacity available is only 81 million. With the mid East full of Islamic nutters and China and India coming into the 21st century gas will never be cheap again. Plus the economic benefits of growing fuel are not to be ignored. I've tune a few vehicles that use E85 exclusively and they perform very well.

     

    We are only a year or so away from Biomass ethanol fuel from grass, trees, weeds ect... When this stuff comes to market it may allow us to reduce the money we are currently spending to support terrorism

  9. We have made the trip to Cedar Point twice mostly to ride the Dragster and it wasn't runniing for us either. The last time we were there for 3 days and it had been down for a couple before we got there. Cedar Point is a great park, with some of the best coasters around..

  10. I had both a direct port and a fogger (WET) after the MAF on my C5. I ran a 100 shot WET wired to a finger trigger, it was all I needed for almost everyone on the street. If you need more you can just arm the Direct port with a 250 shot :seeya: and waive good-bye. You may need some head gasket help with larger doses of NO2, I know this from experience :banghead: Your setup looks very nice
