  1. E85 has a different stoich then gas. Theres a big write up on pt.net about that topic

    Yeah I've read a ton about e85 on pt.nt, ls1tech, yellow bullet and even some of the ricer pages. They all very a bit. Some say run it fat with more timing and others say run it leaner with less timing. I think I'm going to try running it around the 11.5 (gas scale) like some of the guys on pt.nt said.

  2. I went out to the track last friday and got to make two passes. The first one my truck ran really rich for some reason and I ran a 11.5. I leaned it out and didnt change anything else and made a 11.1 pass. I did get a little better 60' on the second pass going from a low 1.8 to a low 1.7. The two passes were both made on 18lbs. I'm still a novice tuner at best and was kinda wondering what AFR you E85 guys like to see going down the strip? I'm currently running at 11.1 AFR (gas scale).

  3. Well guys I haven't posted on this in awhile because I was having trouble with my IAT temps getting out of control. The last pass I made was 11.4 at 121 but my IAT reached 190 degrees by the end of the pass!! It cut my timing back to 6 degrees at that air temp. This was on 17 psi pass and a 70 degree day! Thank god for e85. I've discovered my intercooler was not up to par (cheap cx racing intercooler that cost me 180$ lol). I purchased a treadstone trttc9 intercooler and it has been a night and day difference so far but I haven't made a full 1/4 pass yet. I also got some new shoes for the truck because the nitto's I had were about 5 years old and they weren't able to hold any type of boost launching at all. I'm able to do 6-7 psi launch on these hankooks I got now. Hopefully here pretty soon I can make a 10 sec pass that I've wanted for awhile now.

    This was a test just to check out my math. I was trying to make e90 just for shits and grins. After it settled a little more it came out spot on. Since Norman stop selling e85 I have to go to the city to get it. Kinda sucks but no big deal.

  5. I run standard fuel line material with e85. I've had no issues for the last year and my lines show no signs of deterioration. I know alot of other guys to that run standard fuel line and have no issues. What I'm really thinking about doing is mixing my own e85. The e85 at the pump around here is pretty inconsistent. I've tested anywhere from e70 to e90 from an e85 pump. I dont know how much that really matters but i would like to have a consistent fuel blend.

  6. Lol! You'll see all these ricers with no common sense thinking "for racing applications only? YUP! That's me!" Then trashing their car wondering WTF happened. Lol! There should be a second station for such fuels. But oh well, it'll be interesting to watch. :lol:

    The funny thing is the pump right next to it has 100 octane unleaded....I wonder if anyone has ever got the 2 confused lol.

    Best of my knowledge an SS truck is not setup from the factory to run e85.

    Mines not exactly factory anymore. Dual walbro 450's and a set of 150lb injectors.
