Looks like you’re pretty solid in a lot of areas. So yes, E85 for sure.

I think it sounds perfect the way it is! Great weekend warrior...maybe a smaller pulley to break into the 600 club.

I have a tune for 608hp but it's on a safe Lund tune right now.

I guess next is gotta be the fuel system for E85

Are you on the stock input shaft? If you are you might want to upgrade to a 26 spline setup.

You have power all gummed up in your stock manifolds, catted mid pipe and that magnaflow exhaust. Throw a 2.6 upper on (93/ms109mix), add headers, O/R X and 3" Bassani

2.8 upper for pump gas

or go e85 and destroy those cats.

seriously though if you can go e85, nothing but good imo

How much hp would I gain going down to a 2.8 and a set of longtubes and a off-road Xpipe?
Going E85 is a little pricey right now .

Close to 650hp?

yes. but with the 2.6 with a 93/109 mix (50-50) would easily put you north of 650 too

It's also all about who is tuning it. My tunes were always on a dyno, never a mail order tune from like Bama or some junk like that
