Hey man, I am in the Charlotte area and want to convert my GT over to e-85 eventually, any advice for me? I was actually looking to talk to you yesterday at dans show but by the time somebody told me you where they you had left. I would love to talk to you some time about the entire process that goes into the conversion. -Matt
@swooshonln No problem, it's mainly a matter of upgrading fuel pump(s) and the fuel injectors so they can handle the extra flow needed. You can email me or call. (youtube doesn't allow links). Shrader Performance Gastonia NC.
The E85 fuel cools the combustion process. I'm running 10:1 compression so this wouldn't be possible without E85 or race fuel. Intake manifold is stock plastic intake. Soon to be upgraded along with a whole new engine setup. And yes on the street works just perfect
That's impressive. I am only making 590rwhp/500rwtq with an intercooled T-trim pushing 18-19 psi @6800rpm with trickflow heads and a Reichard intake. What type of intake manifold are you using.
So it makes sense that don't have problems with detonation because of the higher octane, but what are your engine temps? I would imagine that the combustion chamber gets HOT (and therefore the heads) since the charge is not being intercooled. Have you run this setup on the street (or over any long period of time)?

@stylin992 thanks man. If you ever take it out to the track I would like to come see it if that is at all possible. Thanks again for the help.

@swooshonln Trying to get it all together for Mar 12 at zmax test and tune. Adding a shot of nitrous on top of an all new motor combo.

I push 20 psi and see 665/540 with a T-trim and TFS intake on

@jivepepper My dyno numbers probably just read low. On the track I run 134 mph in the 1/4 and 103-104 in the 1/8th, which I am content with for now.

Yeah at 638 I ran 134-135 traps at 85* and a 1350' track.
