Joined the 700 H.P. club today thanks to the CORN!!

[tarheeltrooper]

Pretty excited to be running E-85 (mainly because of the fuel savings over my previous 104 unleaded $8.63 per gal) But also because the corn makes so much power! I laid down 722 h.p. and 649 t.q. through a 2.9 Whipple, lethal 850 hp return style kit with 80's and a 3.00 upper (22 lbs) on a conservative 22 degrees timing. Sure we could have tuned at 25 degrees of timing perhaps, but I was ecstatic with the #'s and wanted to leave a little bit in the bag so I would not be threshold riding. Fear the ear baby!:rockon:

Nice numbers! how much headroom do you have left with the 850 return kit on E85 at your power level? How much did you gain over the race gas?

^^^^ I feel you , I think if I couldn't run no more e85 due to no close stations I would sell the car lol , I would never go back to 93 ..I gained 82whp switching fuels and 5* more deg of timing ..awesome stuff ..I just wish I went return system since day one when I did the e85 conversion ..BTW OP , that's great numbers for 22 psi ..I believe somebody on this board made 735whp with your set up @ 27 psi ..but I think he needs LT' s badly at that power level .

Thanks man, it was def. money well spent!

The pumps aren't even breaking a sweat yet, we added fuel pressure up top for the injectors because they were starting to weaken a little, but after a bump from 40 fuel pressure to 55, it was money. I gained 80 hp and 109 tq from 104 race gas to e 85 lol !!

Mine is like 30 minutes away but well worth the drive for sure!

Nice #'s................enjoy !!

Thanks man!!!

30 mins away from the E85 station ??? Man , i was complaining with my 10mins drive to fill up lol ..but like you said is worth running "race gas " everyday for less than regular gas $$$$
