" Ethanol’s true octane value should be used to calculate E85’s octane value. This results in an octane range of 94-96 (R+M)/2. These calculations have been confirmed by actual octane engine tests." [6]

for the most part its gonna depend on the time of year of course but what should we worry about...pump rating or research rating?

Heres a pic - I would go take more but the engine bay looks disgusting right now (This was before I had the TruBoost installed, however everything else still looks the same) - just got it back from the body shop 2 weeks ago after some dumbass hit me and did $8k worth of damage to my car :/ Ill get back on my netbook in a little bit and grab the logs. My afr (on a gas scale) is from about 12.2:1 going down to almost 11:1 at redline. Also timing wise, Im pulling about -10 deg at 18psi at peak tq, than tapering to -6.5 deg at redline at 18psi.

please do, my invo's don't like cold weather. I easily peal through 3rd gear (not too bad though) when doing pulls and I have the lsd. It does help though.

Nice find chris

thendawg be happy with that set up cause if i would have parted out my kit and you use the turbo i have you wouldnt have made as much power...60-1 flows hella better than what i got i beleave.

they are better on the track though than yoko's...lol

haha, all I know is that it's higher than 93 pump and smells good, if you like cornflakes that is :-)

Also, I'm glad there's no winter blend down here in Houston. Straight 85 all year round, make's tuning a lil easier.

cornflakes..yum..lol
i was looking for some info of gas stations with e85 when i came accros that wiki page...kinda freaked for a sec..lol
for now its premium for me till i can afford to swap over to e85

I heard wrapping your headers is bad, and increases the likely hood of cracks in the welds. Is this true or just an urban legend?

Actually... My DP cracked - dunno if it was from the wrap or vibration. I rewelded it, and added in a flex joint. I since have not rewrapped the downpipe and its been fine, so there may be some truth to that. I plan on having al the exhaust components ceramic coated soon

Good power. I may have missed it, But I think you said you were running the F/IC? Good stuff. Now all you need is track times in the spring. I'm sure patrick will want to go with you/run you.

Coated manifold > wrapped manifold

brett561tc

good stuff man. whats going on at 5,500 and 6,500 rpms? looks like it might be some knock. you may have to pull some more timing there as well.

m6ar2cel6oTC

Knock on e85 and conservative timing? You think bret? Maybe its that backhousing.

m6ar2cel6oTC

It can be many factors due to stress on the manifold. Like no spring bolts in the downpipe or flex pipes. Or he welds weren't strong enough and so much heat cracking it.
