what boost and peak timing are you running?

 

[Patter$on]

Boost is 27falling to 24psi.

Something is definitely wrong. I used to trap 110mph on basically the same setup with 20psi and pump gas.

 

[Patter$on]

Nothing is wrong, the car runs awesome and is where it should be for the setup. Full interior, i weigh ~250, car is tuned for 0 knock. Tuned by Lucas English.

How are your injectors doing with e85 and the evo16g, what duty cycle are they getting up too?

The injectors are doing fine, duty cycles are under 70%. Seem to be a perfect match. Car runs great.

Have you dyno'd? Local guy put down 405FWHP on E85 with some 850s. He was running mid-12s before the E85... Don't know yet on the new tune. That 405 was on 26psi. you sure there's not something missing from the tune? He could have even added some more timing. Not saying your times are bad, just thinking they could get better. just seems 400+ could be a lower 12 or close to 11s... just curious. Have you tried new launch techniques? what's your 60'?

Can't wait to get mine tuned for E85... so much fun. good job!

I have not dynoed yet, its a really simple build on a bone stock 7bolt motor, no cams or anything. The tune is done with 0 knock so it could be pushed some more but its not worth it to me right now. 60fts have been between 1.70-1.80. This was also only my second time to the track with the car and my laptop died mid way through so I couldn't make any launch control changes and I wasn't no lifting. There is ###### near 12.0 in the car I just have to push it some more and drive it harder.

It is 2.69/gal now.

they need to bring e85 up to washington... i want to run it in my 1g but dont want to drive down to lucas every time i need gas for the car

 

[ACE OF DIAMONDS]

I live/work in NorthCentral Ohio. In Norwalk alone there are 2 stations selling E-85 at the pump. It tends to be $.50-80 cheaper per gallon but does lower your MPG some.

David Buschur was tuning 1&2Gs for it. Availablity is an issue though for some people.

Seems the cars responded positively to the 105 octane.

 

[kittay]

Some good times. What were your 60's like?

And mostapasta, he def shouldn't have a prob with the injectors. I was running 750s with my 16g on e85 and wasn't having issues. Everyone always thinks they need more injector then they really do.

 

[northendtrooper]

I just ran a 113.67mph on 25psi with 80/20 mix of E85 You should be way higher of a trap
