Running E85 full time and I ordered the torque booster. I ran a C7 Zo6 the other night on E85 with the 3.8 pulley and got yanked by two cars....So yea. I know people are putting down great numbers with my exact same setup, what gives? What should I expect HP/TQ wise?
Torque booster on the way

- Start date
3.33 pulley with e85 and 11.6 spring. That is a monster.
How much boost would that give him with this setup? Wouldn't this be too much boost for a stock bottom end car?
It would give him around 11.6 psi of boost. For me personally I think that should be the limit on stock bottom end.
Was it a stock z? Are you auto or manual? You probably should beat a stock z no problem even without the tq booster.
I thought he was referring to his own car on e85
Ooooooh, I think your right my bad, I'm a retard. That is strange though, my money would have been on the mustang all day. I'm running a 2200 with the stock 3.8 pulley, lone tubes, o/r x pipe, tuned by Lund and on 93 octane making 650rwhp/512tq. (That is best case scenario, weather was perfect). Do you have any info on the c7z? Or did it just appear stock?

Yeah I was always told 10lbs on stock motor. I'd rather save 35hp and have it last up until the first of the year.
just read the c7 z06 makes 650hp and 650 tq...there is your problem. Corvettes don't need to even be close on horsepower to beat us. I raced a c6 z06 with a small cam and long tubes, said he made around 550 to the tire and I was making a little over 600 at the time and he could have pulled me down the highway. Lighter more balanced cars I guess

I think C7 Z weights as much as 11-14 5.0s or very very close.
This is your answer. General rule of thumb for vettes - you better have +100whp, so you would need to be putting down probably 700 to the wheels, maybe more if it had the 8 speed.
C7zs seem to run high 10s around 126-129 average. You should be at or faster than that. Did you select shift your gear to start?
Not try to hijack your tread but is the booster only recommended for e85 cars? Could I get away with adding it to a 91 oct car?
I also have the torque booster on my car. Im tuned for 91 with torco
Would you describe the method you are talking about? I've heard all sorts of information about how to use select shift.
Also, the torque booster will work with any fuel.

Off topic but can I get more angles that front lip? Looks good so far.
It's a Stillen Front lip.
