Video at the bottom has all the info as well if you don't want to read!

Got the car tuned on Thursday on the E85 and had some great results. Same timing, same 11.9-12.0 A/F ratio and it picked up over the VP109 gas. Here is the graph



So she picked up about 15-20hp and 10-15tq through the whole curve. All we did was drain the tank and add the E85 and retune.

So fast forward to today. Was a bit chilly for racing but similar weather to what we get in October so this is a great comparison. I usually go easy the first pass or 2 to make sure the car feels stable and nothing is weird before going all out. Thank god i did bc the first pass I had an air bubble in the cooling system and about the 1/8 mile I saw the temp gauge go to 215+.

Let it cool for an hour and topped off the coolant. Said F*%$ IT, im going for it. Car felt fine

So shocks full loose, 2 step mid range and ready to rock. Car left great but didn't "feel" much stronger then the norm but man once I hit the 60' it came on HARD. For Comparison....

Nice, I wish we had E85 here. I also wish I could drive my car right now.

 

^^^^^x2 on all fronts and holy fast, congrats

 

That is awesome!!
E85 seems to be big down south compared to here!Wonder why?

 

it has a low tolerance for cold weather. Anyhting under 40 degree's and it starts getting hard to ignite / crank. thats probably why

 

Damn last night it was -11c or 20F and it's the middle of Apr

 

Unless it's dead of summer,it does get pretty cold here over night.
