I might try e85 if my fuel system is enough. I need to do more reading. Right now I have 80s 2 gt pumps bap and -8 feed. It sucjs tho because the nearest e85 station is 2 1/2 hrs away but if I'm only going to and from the track (<5 miles) and 1/8 mile passes a 55 gallon drum will last me awhile.

im also planing on e85 and if i dont sell my 4 or 8psi rings by then im gonna trynd run one of those pulleys with my 3" upper. right now the 3" and my 2lb lower make about 20.5psi. im thinking my 8lb lower would put me around 25 psi so e85 and/or race gas and maybe a lower timing tune should make some awesome power!

Add another one to the list!

03 Cobra, 2.3l VMP, Accufab TB, Intake, 3.3" Pulley, 90mm Idler, theFuelAmp BAP, Stock Injectors / MAF. In Cali, so 91 pump gas. Street tuned so far at 11.8 AF throughout, trims look good.

Car pulls like a freight train, I literally couldn't be happier with this setup. Big thanks to Justin at VMP for making it happen.

Only street tuned so far for driveability, no glory numbers just yet. Previous to this setup, the car had a 2.78 and made 465. This feels like an entirely different car. We believe we have a good bit of power left in the tune, but in CA have to be careful of our wonderful 91 gas.

VMP TVS #35 was out and about for the Ocean City MD Cruising weekend. Running a base tune for the weekend. Going back to get dyno tuned this week and installing a new RXT clutch.

Thank you!

I'm currently running a 3.2'' with a 2lb lower. That will be my 93 tune. I also have a 3'' with the 2lb lower for my E85 Tune. I'm running a fore level 3 return fuel system with twin 465 pumps.

I have a question for you. I see you got the front strut bar to fit with the TVS. Is that the maxium strut bar for the whipple/KB? How much of a pain in the ass was that install? Looks like you have plenty of room.

Nice! Yeah, its the MM bar and it has plenty of room. I was concerned, but it is no problem at all. It was on the car from the PO, so not sure if it is different from the standard issue. The car had the stock eaton its whole life, so I am sure its the standard bar. They are not fun to install no matter what, but fitment was absolutely no issue at all.

A 2.8/4lb is a lot of boost for a stock motor.
My 3.0/4lb with LTs makes ~21.5 on a cool Florida day.
