76mm with 5.3 straight e85 no intercooler?
anyone run on the street with just e85 no intercooler or meth inj.
looks like funding is a bit short. i would have to wait a bit longer to finish if I wait for funding to become available to run front mounts.
however i can get the car running and set up next weekend if i run without intercooler.
Not too sure if it would be fine under low boost for now. max 10psi.
i will also be learning to tune it and i know e85 will be really forgiving vs 91 oct. as far as detonation is due to learning proper timing and fuel map etc.

The fastest stock bottom end 5.3 runs on e85 with no intercooler if I remember right. Tons of boost, mid 8s in the quarter.
Pretty sure you'll be more than fine.

^ ya i do plan to add intercooler when money permits then i also plan to up the boost then. I just want to start driving the car and start learning to tune this.
eventually ill switch back to 91 oct w/ intercooler once i learn to actually tune and know i wont be blowing it up with something stupid in the tune.
thanks i have seen some pretty good numbers without intercooler but all i have found are track numbers. this will be 100% street car and a dd so im wondering on those hot 100* if i will run into issues or will it be fine
