whats a realistic expectation for gains on a stock car switching to e85?
About the same as running a tank full of race fuel (100+ octane) every time. You'll kill any knock you have so you'll gain back any timing lost from that.Quote:

Get some headers or at least a downpipe and plog, an MPS, and switch to E85. Then you'll be in business.
im almost certian rockers headers e85 could get down around a 3.2 which is what id like to do with my winter beater.
Ran a 3.5 with rockers and pump gas so yeah adding e85 should get down around that area
That's my goal. I got the #42 injectors last week and i'm gonna do rockers sometime in December. Hoping for 3.2 and no knock. Running a 3.5 now.Quote:

if i put on e85 i would definitely be dropping a few pulley sizes, i would guess a 3.4 would be doable on e85.
with rockers headers and a 3.2 on e85 im guessing thats low to mid 13s?
I would say that you'd have a solid upper 13 second car.
would that set up run on 42# injectors with e85? or would i need o go even bigger
by that setup i mean rockers headers e85 and a 3.2
42's would be plenty for that.
I ran my 42's pretty ragged on pump gas on a 3.0"...
So on corn I'd be just double checking is all...but a 3.2" should be fine if you're not really pushing it that hard.
Since we're talking e85. What is best pump for e85, 60#'s and 2.8 pulley? I'm currently running 42# on stick pump with a 3.0 pulley.
255/Racetronix rewire setup will be just fine. I used that combo + 95# injectors for my turbo setup to 529whp before I went a different route on fuel supply.Quote:

Was that on e85? What were you running for lines and rails?
Yes e85. stock lines. PRJ rails.Quote:

took an 044 inline to fix the fuel starvation....then we broke the IS at 22psi Fuuuuuuuuuq
anything over 500whp is time for a better fuel pump
My buddy moved to Arizona and doesn't have much access to e85, so he's stuck using race fuel.
i finally found my pic of one of the leakiest zzp cores ive come across
you can see and count all of em....straight up no ****s given when applying rtv
this thing had 3 vac leaks and 1 vac/boost to pcv leak
