Thread: 430+ whp on an m90?

Anyway, my point was that someone said 350+ whp is hard without spending big money... and that was my point. A buddies setup that Ive worked on and tuned hit 350+ pretty easily and still has room to grow after we fix a few things: better valve springs and a better fuel pump. Of course, with a stock trans he isnt going to put down any amazing track times but thats next on his list of things to get rid of.

E85 is pump gas

I used to live in a town where there was 4 stations:
Dubuque, Iowa
Population (2009)
- City 57,222
- Density 2,178.2/sq mi (841.1/km2)
- Metro 91,765

Now the nearest station is 19 miles away from me. I still daily drive E85 and have a 70 mile commute each day.


Go to:
Ethanol Retailers
And pull up the locations nearest to your zip.

"E85 makes your gas mileage go to ****"
Obviously your not using the type of Octane for the proper benefits. It is pump gas 105 octane that has been proven to make more power on boosted setups than 110 leaded fuel. Not only can you run more boost, but more timing. The AFR range of E85 to make the most power is also very broad. It can be run lean 12.5+ and not knock, it can be run rich10.5- and still makes power. At $2-2.20 a gallon, I say **** all the nay sayers.
