[VR] Vengeance TT C6Z06 puts down 1419RWHP/1321RWTQ on E85! Pics/Details Inside! If you hadn't kept up with our customer's 67mm/440c.i./Pro-EFI C6 Z06 build, check out the link below for the past build thread:

This vehicle laid down a solid 1,098rwhp on pump 93 fuel and no methanol. The customer drove the car like this for several weeks, including running the GA WannaGOFAST 1/2 mile event at 185mph, and then decided to turn up the wick a bit more. We added an AlkyControl dual nozzle methanol system with hard-lined nozzles, as well as tuned for E85. We still have yet to use the methanol in the vehicle as IAT's were very good for our dyno sessions with our custom air-to-water intercooler system.
One of the key benefits of going to the Pro-EFI management system was their excellent E85 flex fuel system that is integrated into the kit.
After filling the car up with pump E85 fuel, we hit the dyno and began the tuning process. Unfortunately it was roughly 20* on the dyno, and the drag radials were having a difficult time getting traction on the dyno rollers. We had a 250lb gentleman in the back of the car to try and keep the tires from spinning, but we still couldn't completely defeat the issue.
The end result: 1,419rwhp / 1,321rwtq
That is an increase of 321RWHP just from using E85 fuel!!!
Once we were done on the dyno, we couldn't miss the opportunity to throw on the customer's street wheels and head out for a small photo shoot. A vehicle of this caliber should always look as good as it performs, and this one definitely does that!
Stay tuned for results in May as we take the car back to the WannaGOFAST Georgia 1/2 mile, and hope to add a third Corvette to our list of 200+mph 1/2 mile vehicles :smash:

I thought the switch to E85 and the results were obvious. The gains aren't, but the benefit of cooler intake tempitures with more knock resistance is why I've always like E85. It doesn't make sense to switch if your not raising the boost.Great results
