How much power going e85

[Nathalene]

2008 gt500
Vmp 2
Jlt 123
2.4 pulley
72mm throttle body
10% ATI
Boost a pump
Id1050x
O/r H-pipe
Return fuel system


How much will it make to the wheel once it’s dialed in on E85.
And any advice on that I should know using ethanol? Thanks

My guess. . . . 730's range maybe.

Get in the habit of checking the E85 content level at the pumps if not buying 55 gallon drum barrels of Ignite. I would also recommend buying an E85 meter for the inside of ur car. Zetronix makes a great one. How much power does it make now? probably pick up 100-120 whp with a proper re-tune.

I had an increase of 80ish hp going to E85. Same dyno same tuner, different day.

I would think he is close to that with what he's got now, at least high 600's, no?

I would guess slightly less. I was at 660 on pump with same set up but with gen2r, twin 68 and LTHs.

He could be, but he probably doesn't have this setup. If he did, he would just dyno it or ask his tuner. lol

My car touched 700ish wheel on a trinity with 2.4/10% and every other supporting mod known to man on straight 93. So I guess mid 700's would be likely, but I like to aim lower as we all know how that goes when you hit more realistic numbers.

I will post the numbers!! Next week. Hoping for a big gain!!!

I did already but it wasn’t “dynoed”. Just data loggin

Just throw it on the dyno and see. You may be surprised either way.

Similar setup

PMAS instead of the JLT
Ported lower intake manifold
Headers vs O/R X

I did 750 SAE through a 6r80 auto. I assume you will be around 750 if your at 21* of timing up top. The auto eats more hp, so that should offset the ported lower and the headers

That was my oldsetup before swapping to the gen 3 and dropping the boost

Similiar setup on my 07, Gen2r/2.4/10% but running 72 pounders = 737/728 @ 20.5 PSI.... I am changing my pulley to a 2.7 in the spring as that boost level is alil too high for me on 93.

Pretty sweet numbers! Mine was brought down as well for that reason. I just keep a stock size lower now and 2.4 upper for pump gas duty. Still sees almost 19PSI on a COLD night. lol

Ya I kinda forgot that 10% would put me over 20 psi when I opted for the 2.4. The 2.7 should drop me to 16-17 hopefully. I'm with ya tho, I'm ok losing a few ponies for safety purposes! haha
