Stupid CAN gas!
Being that E85 was never in my car modding future i can say that this has to be the best engine mod for this car pound for pound! Im currently on a stock pump but upgrading to a aem pump this week because of my pulley swap and i'll drop from a 3.0 to a 2.8 by that time i saw 5* of knock on my Cammed/ Heads /Header/ Genv /3.0 Pulley setup driving the car now i have no knock!

stock pulley and you still have knock on headers? You need to look elsewhere for your knock issue
I think with e85 some sway bars and braces, and that car should be a different beast.
with the e85 and 42# injectors does the maf and o2 sensor still compensate for lean and rich conditions?
I understand how e85 raises power and lowers spark knock, but i just want to make sure its definitely ok to run without a tune.
I guess it was pounded into my head that any major change requires tune.
If it runs like normal (not rich or lean) then it will definitely be one of my first mods. How small of a pulley can i run on a stock car with the 42# E85 SETUP
If you use 42.5# injectors you dont need a tune as they are 30% larger and e85 requires around a 30% adjustment. Any other injector type you will need a tune for e85. If its possible I still recommend getting an in car tune from a local tuner
is it at shift?Quote:

Which ever one doesn't KR.Quote:

As soon as she gets hot, I see blips at the upper RPM range. Not much though. Before CAI and headers, I would see 4°+ degrees under at 2500 RPM during a hill climb (moderate load). IAT's were at or near 130°. It get's hot as balls here. I think if I had 93 vs 91 that couple degrees of knock would go away.Quote:

meh 42.5ers and e85 will kill his knock real good if that is his only issue.
Winter's coming so I'm curious to see how it reacts to some "cold" air. Cold being mid 50's.
lol... Thats cute... cold..50* haha try -20 here...
AAALLLLLLLL the dense cold air up in the midwest haha
Nope! We moved away from that. I miss the change in the seasons, but not the cold.Quote:
