I just picked up a return fuel system yesterday and once it gets here I’m switching to E85 with a flex fuel tune from AED. I wanted to see what kinda of ET and MPH gains you guys got after going E85 while having a power adder.
I went from 10.8@132 (93) to 10.4@137 (E85) with no changes aside from fuel. Same tuner (AED), same track (Great Lakes Dragway).
I'm from Madison so its my "local track". We usually have a crew of 10-15 cars that go 3-4 times a year.
I just bought the JPC E85 kit as well. Crossing fingers to dip into the 9s with E85 and tune. Best so far was 10.5 on 93 with 6 speed. Just switched to Built 6r80 and 3C. Very anxious to see what these major changes reveal.
I cancelled my JPC kit. Nothing they did, just decided to wait. I ended up buying a kit from Rodeheaver Hot Rod. Twin GT350 pumps, all the lines and electrical, VMP rails, and added a filter for after the pumps.
Any idea what HP these GT350 pumps will support on E85?
No track results, but on the dyno I went from 668 rwhp and 507 lb*ft to 739 rwhp and 553 lb*ft with the boss intake going from 93 to E85

On the 93 tune my car was set to shift at 7300 rpm and was seeing 11 lbs of boost. After I got my fuel system and went E85 when tuning on the dyno they revved the engine to 7850 rpm and was seeing close to 13 lbs of boost. After the dyno session was finished my car shifts at 7600 now and sees 12lbs of boost. Other than OPG and crank sprocket the engine has stock internals. I'm actually thinking about pulleying up and/or lowering my shift RPM until i get a built short block (currently have one on layaway from MMR) so i don't blow up my engine, lol

Let me know how your fuel system install went. I just ordered my Rodeheavers system on Wednesday. Shaun over at AED highly recommended it.
