Let me first start off by saying that I have identified my lean condition. I had a faulty pump. So, I get a tune from 04sleeper, run the car on 5 psi, and finally get the eboost2 hooked up and crank her up to 7.5 psi. Car is a beast! Get it to the dyno 2 days later only to find out that the car is hitting horrible LAMBDA, basically 14.7 AFR!!!! Verified the pump issue by putting in another E-85 tune from a reputable tuner on this site. The AFR went over 19-1 on this tune!!!! So, my automatic 13 laid down 603 at 5200 rpm before it went lean and didn't scatter parts all over the road. Yes, I'm stupid, should have data logged from the get go. But just a testament to Kevin (04sleeper) and E-85. If I would have made this stupid mistake on gasoline, it would have been a mess. Fore return style system is on its way!!!!

Damn! Looks really good compared to those melted plugs I've seen posted from people going lean on gasoline

This is on corn right?

I know theres 2000 posts about E-85 but what do I need to switch besides tune?

I think I have enough fuel mods to support it.

Yes, it was on E85.

I have the Fore fuel system w/ twin 465's and ID1000's.

That and a tune is all you should need.

Kevin, do the 465s have more capacity than the GT pumps?

The factory GT pump from my 2013 flows about 400. The 465 flows more and now I have two of them.

The 2013 GT500, like you have, has twin 400 GT pumps.

Is that what you were asking Craig?

Do you know if they are compatible with the GT500 hat? Just thinking about fuel system upgrades down the road. I'm putting money aside right now to have the rods replaced with a set of Manley H-Beams so I can sleep good at night and turn it up a little later. Once I get the rods done, I'm going to install a 15% lower and 2.70 upper and try to make 1K with my little 2.9L :burnout:

 

[04sleeper]

At that point I would just go with a new fuel hat pumps. I woldnt try to reuse the factory hat.

Give me a shout tomorrow if you wan to discuss.
