E85 in a separate fuel cell for my wet kit. 93 octane in the car?
What's up guys!
So everything I've found while researching has said had info on cars running E85 as a gas....
I'd like to run E85 in a 150 shot on my C5 FRC. The car would still run on 93 octane, but I'd have a 1 gallon fuel cell with E85 in it to fuel the nitrous side.
Just going off of what I know about nitrous, and E85.. I'd imagine you could run NA timing with the help of a fat E85 pill. I read you need to increase the fuel jet by 28%.
317 heads, C5Z cam, intake. Long tubes back exhaust/ CAI and a tune.

That would make some extremely nice power to keep that much timing and still hit the juice. I don't see why it wouldn't work, you'd just have to dial it in. E85 is going to make the best power under 8.4:1 AFR.

Like Brandon stated you can make plenty of power with 93 and getting the timing/tune right. I have a 408 with nitrous outlet plate kit. I run only 93 octane and make just over 700 to the wheels on the bottle. I did not have enough fuel pump for it and had to get a fuel system though.
If you went the stand alone route, I would use some sort of gas not e85. C16 or something along that line.
