'Safe' WHP on corn? Ok, so I am little slow on the uptake.
Without picking a specific number, does the 'safe' WHP level increase if you switch from 93 octane + M1 meth to corn? Corn + M1 meth?
SBE LS3 with a cam, rocker and spring upgrades, V-2 Ti CSC. 1 7/8ths LT headers, 3" Borla S-Type (no) cat backs.
People keep recommending I switch to corn. If it will increase the 'safe' WHP level I may have to look at it more seriously.
I have been reluctant to go corn because of limited availability. There are, I think, 4 stations in Dayton that have E85 and they are mostly Speedway. I am not familiar with the quality of Speedway gas. I like being able to find a Shell station anywhere and filling up with good 93 octane but a flex fuel system would prevent me from being stranded. Although running out the tank to switch would be a PITA.
I plan to go forged next year and I am working on the supporting mods in advance. Fuel pump (preventative maintenance), fuel rails (Gucci), CSC rebuild/upgrade (preventative maintenance and expansion). The right fuel pump and injectors and a flex fuel sensor are not out of the question.
I'd like to get to 900 WHP or so eventually.
Thanks!

I assume you would have less than 100% power until you got back to 100% E85.
I don't know how flex fuel works. Thanks for the responses!
