HCI+E85+Nitrous Good afternoon guys, I have searched threads but not found anything within the last 10 years haha. I have a heads, cam, Intake 2002 Camaro m6. It currently has 430 wheel and it’s tuned for 93 octane but I recently moved to the west coast. I need to have it retuned and am planning on going E85 instead of down to 91. I have a walboro 450 pump and 60lb injectors. Do you guys think that will be enough injector for that? I also want to do a 100 wet shot down the road, curious how you guys like the e85 and nitrous setup, and if my injectors/pump will be able to push that much fuel with nitrous. Thanks In advance.

I wouldn't say that's necessarily true. Timing is in the same place, you just read the fueling differently. When reading a gas plug, we are looking for the fuel ring at the base of the porcelain. On an E85 plug, we are looking for a turn of color on the base ring of the plug to tell us where our jetting is. This is really more a measure of heat than looking at carbon deposits on the porcelain like when you're tuning with gas. If anyone needs help with this, feel free to reach out to me.
