well ive had my headers and fwi for awhile and have been trying to decide exactly which way to go either meth or e85.......and E85 it is. I ordered my pump,harness,injectors and pulley today. I should be getting it all on and tuned late next week or weekend at prj performance. Im stoked to see how the car is gonna react.
08-11-2010
React by buying a smaller pulley...like a 3.25" or so.
08-11-2010
thats what i bought was a 3.25" pulley and #65 injectors and the racetronix pump and HD harness. Should pull pretty good.

Ship the pump and injectors to my house and I will inspect them for you

I never been a fan of e85. had it for a bit and yanked it off.

It has been proven on at least one 3800 boosted setup to make more power than 110.

Lawlz. Our shop recently broke at least one (but probably two) dyno cam record using E85. Cheap, readily available (in some areas), and is basically race gas. Its the stuff that dreams are made of....I never been a fan of e85. had it for a bit and yanked it off.

got my car back and im very pleased. Im gonna redo all my exhaust, colder plugs and a 160 stat, and take it back for one final tune. Lets see how long the tranny can take some abuse
08-18-2010
180 stat would prob be the way to go...just my .02
08-19-2010
Thats what it has in it right now and it runs about 190. He said i should put a 160* in it, and thats what i was gonna run it at least for the summer when its 95 degrees outside.
08-19-2010
no grand prix ever will benefit from running a 160* thermostat. its just too cold.

I know people say that only certain engines can run e85. So I that a farse or is it that our engines can run e85 with certain set ups?
08-19-2010
that is dumb. anybody can run e85 so long as the fuel system can support it.
for our cars you need bigger injectors, possibly a fuel pump, and a tune.
08-19-2010
If the car cant tell if theres E85 in there and its setup to run on regular gas and you put E85 in it and go WOT you'll go lean and blow your engine up.... THAT is why your car cant "support" E85
08-19-2010
Oh ok. Sorry I'm a rookie at this stuff. Just trying to learn. So how big of injectors do u need to run e85 and what would be a decent fuel pump to get to run e85
08-19-2010
depends entirely on your mod level and where you'd like to take it.
08-19-2010
Ok sounds good. I know this is under the supercharger area but with other mods could u run it in a n/a engine
08-19-2010
It would be pointless. You don't need a high octane in a N/A unless you are running some stupid 13:1 compression ratio or sorts like that.
08-19-2010
its not really a good idea.
