E85 gains?

[try03venom]

Who's running a E85 tune? And what gains in power did you see.

There was a thread on here with a stock n/a GT switched over and made some great gains.

Why not? It was bone stock if I remember right? The gains would be even better once you start modding.

E85 tune added

E85 Results inside 2011 5.0

the second thread i have a hard time believing

HPP is a reputable shop. They did a E85 tune on another stock 5.0 and did not see near those gains, though.

so no changes need to be made to the fuel system at all besides a tune?

I'm burning e85 but have not jumped on a dyno yet. I am running more timing than I was on 93. The car pulls very strong and it feels very smooth and knock sensors are quiet. 100% stock fuel system.

So is this true Thwre is no mods needed for the fuel system? Because I have a Magna charger on my car and it has ford racing 47 LB injectors. I am wondering if I could run E85 with my setup and a proper tune

You will need a boost a pump and bigger fuel injectors for sure. You will need the same amount of fuel for 700whp on 93 octane for 550whp on e85.

your injectors will not be enough. because of the magnacharger. you will need more fuel. maybe 60lbs or even 80lbs injectors.

o ok so they use stock injectors N/A. being supercharged i will need bigger injectors. but my fuel pump will be ok with the boost a pump?
