so i lied i went ahead and put my 1600cc injectors in and did a fall tune on my car on e85. put down a good number but the boost will be turned up in the summer once the blend gets put back to normal. So this is at 22psi spike to 24psi

very nice what mods done?

Re: finally getting the car tuned
 

Very nice numbers Craig!

Re: finally getting the car tuned
 

gt3561 turbo, ported head bc 280 cam. springs and retainers. weisco pistons and eagle rods, bunch o other stuff that goes along those lines. good part is w/ the dual 255 pumps the stock line seems to be holding up so i can go get some cash back for the an line i have.

Re: finally getting the car tuned
 

craig was up here you a good part of the day and I got me some free gas out of the deal when I drained my bro's tank about 9 gal's of 92 bp.

I know you were realy happy with the numbers when you were thing around 350 or so. wait till summer blend and 28-30 psi to come

Re: finally getting the car tuned
 

Damn...nice!

Re: finally getting the car tuned
 

Nice numbers Craig. I've got my AN line kit here on the workbench as well. Stockish size lines and dual pumps work just fine, so far.

Re: finally getting the car tuned
 

yeah thats what i thought too, thanks as well

Re: finally getting the car tuned
 

Good power Craig!

Re: finally getting the car tuned
 

oh yeah and of course the crappy act 2600 was slipping as well according to john

Re: finally getting the car tuned
 

Nice numbers man! What rpm are those tq and whp peaks at?

Re: finally getting the car tuned
 

i cant remember exactly but i think its like 7200 or something idk i'd have to ask john

Re: finally getting the car tuned
 

Peak Tq: 349.0 @ 6000 rpm
Peak Hp: 408.3 @ 6400 rpm

The clutch might be a problem in spring with a summer blend and a MBC, but it seems fine for now, it slips a little but I have seen worse.

Re: finally getting the car tuned
 

I think SA is the only one who uses a summer/winter blend, i called holiday and they said they run 85% yeah around, it also says on the pumps at SA 70%minimum and at holiday 85% minimum.

Congrats looks like a fun ride.

Re: finally getting the car tuned
 

Nice numbers!!!

Re: finally getting the car tuned
 

There is supposed to be 4 changes in E85 in this area throughout the year. Summer blend is June, July, and August. Merkzu has an alcohol mixture gauge in his car and had something like 81% ethanol on the dyno day from a Kwik Trip near his house, he from the Holiday's near his house he was getting something like only 70% ethanol.

Re: finally getting the car tuned
 

Craig, do you have a chart with boost and RPM? What cams and intake manifold?

Re: finally getting the car tuned
 

well i finally called up SA n Holiday and told me that they have switched to E70

Re: finally getting the car tuned
 

no chart on the boost and rpm unless john has one saved somewhere. as for cams they're bc 280's and a stock intake manifold
