you can not run e85 on a stock fuel setup not designed for e85 it will not run due to the fact you need to adjust and add about extra 15 percent or more worth of e85 and advance timing to compensate for the low efficient burn, and please dont argue that statement. i dont know why you keep talking about stock setup on e85. a car that is not designed for e85 will not run on e85 unless converted. so stop saying stock fuel setup. i will not be resonding to any more of your comments. thank you
@MarcelE85EG Good points i agree with you, but running e85 on stock fuel setup is just like normal octane, but when it can be used on a big fuel set up, it becomes race fuel. I understand with higher octane you can have higher compression, that's why i was originally referring to this being a good car for it's compression and on 93 octane. You make great points i think were thinking the same thing, just talking a little differently lol.
@MarcelE85EG boost is because most people run on 91. if everyone was running e85 or a race gas you could then run much higher compression on boost. and im sure there aluminum block has been sleeved again we are talking about dallas performance
@Midgetman303 if a race like fuel called e85 can be bought at the pump for 2.50 and being a corn based bio-degradable fuel its called pump gas not race gas, race gas is about 15 per gallon or more and most times leaded, generally you buy them out of 5 or 50 gallon jugs, not a gas station and generally being cheaper then 87. also i realize you need bigger injectors, pump, lines etc, this is a dallas performance corvette we are talking about. and the only reason low compression is for
@MarcelE85EG Well e85 is basically 110 octane and is considered racing fuel. It's not good to just put a stock car on e85 with stock fuel setup. You need a lot bigger injectors to be running e85 to get the full effect.
I wasn't saying he needed to raise it. I was just low compression for boost, not for fuel. Fuel wise that's great, but when your putting boost on a aluminum block like that it will over heat fast if not built properly.
@Midgetman303 low compression is needed when your running low octane like 87oct, high octane means the fuel has more resistance to pre-detonation. im running 10:5:1 on 30 psi on e85 and w/no problems and its a 25mpg grocerie getter. please explain to me why he couldnt raise his compression on e85?. and one more thing you said pump gas makes your car a real street car so that means the e85 2011 tahoe isnt a street car? last i checked hes paying 2.50 a gallon at the pump too.
@MarcelE85EG Since he's running high boost if anything he needs lower compression. At least a 9.5:1. And Not sure if e85 would be good on this car. He's already running big injectors to do what he's doing now. This car is nasty as it is, and on pump gas, and that makes a true street car. E85 if amazing though lol...
@luweegy3 Possibly higher compression and tighter tune. Also dyno could be a little more generous. The cam can make or kill a lot of the blown power. Lastly air pressure, humidity and altitude also play a part in dyno calculations....
@MarcelE85EG 15 per gallon na man its round 7.50

go with some 10:2:1 compression pistions, rods, mild cam on e85 flex fuel on 19psi and call it a day
