Default Some basic Dyno #'s

Well thin i got the E85 blow thru set up closer!!! EFI would be way easier lol.. ran it low boost 7psi 451 and 475 only ran it to 5500rpm. wb02 was right at 8.0-1 (E85) I also learned it likes timing the thing wont run with 18* in boost. likes 24* plus timing.... Well decided to up the boost went to 14psi and ran out of time to takes some fuel out but made 620Ftlbs on the short pull to 5K rpm's..afr was 7.2-7.6 on this pull... Was a good day to start from.. i dont see 650/700rwhp a prob with 14psi and the little 74mm turbo...

but its a hefty 2692lbs with me in it

Wow, nice setup. Last time I searched there was only 1 place in MA that sold E85, close to Logan airport I think. Is that where you buy it or are there other places that have it now.

Well good and bad news!!! got the tune all sorted out but the dyno was having probs reading my tach signal.... so i got one reading @10-11 psi of 660ftlbs @4k but that was it. so we just did pulls to tune the AFR and timing. got it right @ 8.0-1 and 27* timing @10 psi... so now just time to take it to the track about time... once i get some track passes i will get the c02 and push 15-20 psi but i have a very good feeling 10 psi is all i might need..
Ps. It needs travel limiters

WOW! Less than 2700lbs, that must feel like a go-cart compared to a 98-02 f-body and forget about a '10 Camaro.

Congrats.
