Default Nitrous and E85

Has anyone tried it yet? My '02 T/A has been recalibrated and is running on E85 on a stock engine. I thought about putting on my old NitrousWork kit and use either 100 or 150HP shot of spray. I know the extra octane of the E85 will be good for the 150shot. I guess the big thing I am concerned about is how much should I step up the fuel jet.

I'm running E85 with nitrous. Fuel jet needs to be 30% bigger for the added demand of E85. Also you have to up the nitrous jet as well.

OK, what brand, system, and jets are you running?

I run methanol which isnt much different then E85. I think it is better overall, but more expensive and depending on your area its less readily available. Some cities already have E85 at the pump. The mfg. of your system should have a jetting chart. Give them a call and see.
