Thinking of switching to e85. Here is a basic list on my combo
Stock short block,206/206 cam
Full ported irons and matching intake
Esp front mount
Ported throttle body
Stock fuel lines and rail
80lb inj. Accufab reg
Racetronix dbl pump with hobbs
2nd pump comes in at 15psi
Built 2004r
Car has been 10.80 @124 so far,but that was on 116. I think my duty cycle was 60% on that pass. I will have to check on my Pl file. Now with all of that,do i have what i need to run E85? Or do i need to change some stuff. I know a chip and tune is 1st thing. Thanks

Get a set of 120s and a matching chip and let it eat. If you do not have a modded ecm you will need that also.

Get Erics chip for those 80's .. put in E85 .. retune the car ... go collect your 10.5 x 130 mph pass
 
Cool,that's what i was hoping. I will send in my race chip i never use for an e85 chip

Can you give me the names of some members on here running those times with 80s? I know if anybody could supply that info it should be you as I believe you have sold multiple sets of 80s on here.
 
I have. ;)

I ran 6.6s through the 8th at 104-105MPH with a slipping trans at that.... That would more then cover the 10.80 at 124mph and be in the 10.5 range if not faster honestly especially with the trans not going out on me down the track :LOL:. Very similar setup to what BIGPSI is running as well. I was on Stock engine, stock headers. Base FP at 50psi on my accufab regulator, dual intank walbros, stock lines and of course 80lb injectors i bought from Eric at TT. I think you will be fine if you are happy where the car is power wise anyways.... U can always go up in size with the injector but its not absolutely nessesary at this power level. If it were me knowing what ive seen with my own car and tuning on this fuel for 7+ years with multiple engines.... id just retune/chip for the 80s and save the $. Unless i had plans to upgrade the fuel system and go with larger injectors to support added power potential.

10.80's will be no problem...make sure you have a good switch to kick on the second pump. Make sure Eric sends you a chip that has Max Fuel in it. Trust me Blevins has already done this with basically stock heads and a stock intake.....

They can speak up on their own if they so chose .. 2 members probably don't want it getting out that they DO NOT tune their own cars
and further more they street race.. so im not about to say who runs what.. thats upto them..

It has been said TIME AND TIME AGAIN .. by many of us that HAVE ACTUALLY done it... not what a vender told them .. or their buddys mechanic .. or the neighbor next door...

It's simple ... a 80# injector on E85 running a well powered single DW301 pump .. WILL RUN MID 10's @ ~128+
NO forged built motor.. NO DFI.. NO 160 # injectors... NO GN1 heads... NO Roller Cam... on stock old buick junk parts !

I got the same shit when my mustang went 140.8 mph full weight on a 38# injector ... no magic... just seat time , datalogging and alot of tuning ..

Adam, I see where you say you have but then continued reading and see that you haven't and are just speculating. Maybe it would have maybe it would not have. My question was looking for someone who has run 10.5s with 80s on E85. I cannot say if anybody has, as I cannot name anybody who has.
 
Blevins does speculate a lot...lol..poor guy just makes up stories with no experience...but somehow he gives advice that works...I'm guessing he just gets lucky a lot...he's already answered this question ...can we move on now....

I guess that was a poke at me. Funny thing about it is, when I talk about what can and can't be done I can use peoples names to prove my point.

You are correct, you can use your own car to make a point. Got any video or time slips of your fast passes on e85 and 80lbs. injectors to share with us?
