after e50, the increased knock resistance of ethanol fuel is negligible. ie e50 vs e100 = pretty much same knock resistance

How much power do you guys think stock feed line can be made with E85? I have 92lb injectors at 58psi ad dual 255 pumps on stock feed lines (only temporary) on 6-8psi... Will it be fine till I get the -10 feed in there? I really wanna go straight to the good smelling corn!

790rwhp is what automagic made on the stock feed line on e85, I personally don't think the lines are the restriction on that setup, the pumps I think will run out first.

Nice setup in your TA pwrtrip75 looking forward to hearing what it runs.

If we get enough cars running e85 in here maybe we can get the mods to stick it to the top. Would be nice to know what everyone is running so that new guys know what the fuel is capable of in a boosted application. Keep 'em coming guys.

PUMP E-85 combos ONLY.
Let us know your:
CID -- 370 C.I., 9.0:1
Heads -- Lightly Ported 317s
Cam -- EPP Blower Cam
Intake -- LS6
Turbo, Twin Turbo or Blower -- D1SC Procharger, 9 PSI
Tuning software or Aftermarket EFI -- Stock ECU HP Tuners
HP/ TQ if known and e.t. and MPH -- 10.56 @ 131, 1.78 60 Foot, estimtated 625 rwhp
Fuel pump and fuel line sizes (if not using stock fuel lines) Twin Walbros, -8 Feed

I definately think the car will run some 10.20's or 30's if it would just hook up on 9 psi. Currently making 14 psi and hoping for some high 9 passes.

Nice to see another blower car on the list. What gear are you using in the rear? Those are some good e.t.'s for just 9psi.

I really wish we could get E-85 around here, but it is completely non existant.
