Looks good!

I like when you get on it and the rear end squats a few inches, just looks mean!

haha. I remember a few years back going up to Dave's with Corey and seeing it sitting in the front yard. I think you where trying to sell it then if I remember right.

But on a side note the thing really looks amazing and the wheels and stance set it off!

TJ, not to highjack your thead, but I'd like to ask seem you seem to be one of the most knowledgable around regarding E85.

Have you experimented at all with E85 and gasoline mixtures? I'm currently running a single walbro 450 and basically tapped out. At 10-11 psi my AFR is creeping up and at 11.5-12 I saw AFR as high as 8 with a commanded of 7.1. 10.5:1 LQ9 with an S475.

I was wondering how much further I could extend the fuel system with E60 or E47 versus adding a second pump, and if so, how does E47 or E60 compare to E85 in knock resistance. It doesn't seem many are experimenting with these mixtures and really all I could find online regarding this is those with the Turbo Ecotec DI engines. There's a couple scholarly papers out there suggesting that the anti-knock properties of anything beyond E50 is negligible.

E50 works pretty darn good, not as good as E85 of coarse. I do agree that you see no more octane from 50-85, per our research papers that I am not allowed to share.

The big gain going from 50-100% is just in fuel volume and the cooling from this. Much the same reason you see screw blower alky cars shooting raw fuel out of the pipes for cooling on M1.

Now an intercooled street car looking to make some more boost then on pump 93, heck yea E50 will work just fine. Only down side is the time it takes to mix it.

I love your truck, pretty badass. I think once my project is done, I'll have to take the trip across the lake, and put the 2 black s10's up against eachother.
