[QUOTE="70SCJ, post: 10109888, member: 57556"] 80's might get maxed out with your setup. The BAP will be a must. I asked a couple of questions on a E85 sight about how fuel required and if I could get to the 750 rwhp level with my current setup. Here are the comments and a ball park minumum fueling requirement that I received. "If you want to look at ballpark: Figure 18% driveline loss: -750 x 1.18 = 885 bhp -Figure about .75-.80 lb/hp-hr BSFC (brake specific fuel consumption) - say -.775 average -885hp x .775 lb/hp-hr = 686 lb/hr fuel flow -Figure 6.5 lb/gallon E85 -686lb/hr / 6.5 lb/gal = 105 gph fuel flow Or convert to liters: -105 gal x 3.785 liters/gal = ~400lph This would be pretty much a bare minimum at what ever fuel pressure you run. Figure any type of voltage drop, pressure rise due to boost, extra fuel so you don't run out and go lean, etc and you'd want some 'safety margin' above that number. Probably looking at something like an aeromotive 1000, bosch 044, etc." __________________ This says that I need 90's or better as a minimum. [/QUOTE]
