    did you upgrade injectors when you switched to e85?

    And if I'm reading this right you've only done a downpipe, intake, plugs and thermostat.

    So no plog?

    And a 3.4 pulley?

    So your running 60# injectors and e85 on the stock tune? Put a 180 thermostat in it or even a stock one. Your running al 103's?

    160 is too cold, and 103 are too cold.

    So run a 180 and whatever 104's are in ngks

    Will all depend on how the car takes the pulley drop.

    You kind of need to tune for ethanol, or buy a tuner, your car may be running right now because of the 30% or so larger injectors, but that isn't the right way of doing it. Once you get it tuned safely for ethanol and your injectors, then you can play with pulley sizes.

    If you get a real tune for the E85 you could probably run the 3.4 pulley but i'd throw headers on if i were you too. Then you could go smaller still most likely.

    While I am completely lost and confused by this thread... Here are some facts.

    If you put e85 and 42# injectors in a stock gtp, you can basically run a 3.2 pulley without tuning and probably without exhaust mods.... and it would work pretty darn well. The stock tune on these cars is extremely underrated.
