I got a good question. where i live we ain't got E-85 but every track that i go to does and also there is 110 available.I am looking to go to the track run as fast as my stuff will let me. which fuel would be a better fuel to get familar with???
91 talon awd
fmic
255 reg
going with the dsmlinkv3
got a b16g may end up with a 20g before spring
go to get a exhaust still

oh and i am cheap

please help
I herd you guys are awesome
going to need some tuning values too
 
NIce work...26 degrees is huge!!! LOL

I have a set of supposed to be 650's...and we only have 91 pump around here with a 20g. I can only get max like 15 degrees out of it IF even that high. most of the time its pulling timing on me.
 
Had your set up just come together?
Is there more in it?
or this is a good rock solid run every day tune up(whole package)

E85 vs. 110 vs. C16: I have no idea which will make more power. I know E85 is way cheaper, even when you factor in the higher consumption rate. If I remember correctly, E85 pulls more heat from the charge while it is evaporating which helps reduce knock, and burns slower which also helps reduce knock. Only having dealt with E85, you can push it past what I had considered the limit in boost, afr, and timing, and continue going faster. Though, if you can't get it, you can't get it.

I have a dyno sheet compairing E85 to 110 (C16) that i will post later. E85 does make a substantual ammount of difference through RPM base.

If you're asking me about my setup it's a 6 year old, run the piss out of it, staying on the safe side, but runs solid every time tune. To be honest, I don't mess with the tune.:coy: I log, everything looks good, so I don't change anything.:boring:
 
LOL...jonny...if he running it for 6 years without catastrophic failure....its probably too safe for you...
Theres more in that car if u pushed that set-up to the edge for sure.
 
I like what he's got going.
but ya I could see it now sitting at the track sippin on some pop and then.....bam the biggest nitrous jets are in. it all happens before you know.
when will i learn



I see smallturbo said 110(c16) i thought c-16 was 116

Sorry i ment 110 and C16. C16 will make more power tho. I only have a dyno sheet compareing E85 to C16, I still need to get the photo uploaded to photobucket so i can post it.
