I bought this car last spring.... Had the car tuned by a well known tuner in Michigan that works for a reputable shop on 93 and I'm not pleased with the results to say the least, partly due to the fact I think the static C.R. is too high. Don't really want to put the car back on 110, because of the price and the car is street driven. Was wondering what you guys thought about putting the car on e85? Been hearing good things about it, just don't know anything about it. What size injectors would I need. The mods are in the link above.

im running a boosted carberated lt1 on E85. everything has worked great, and i love it.

what sucks though, is dealing with having to find a gas station that carries it, and the reduced mileage..... it makes going on cruises a bitch.

It was running 110 octane to go 114 in the 1/4 (on motor) when you bought it?

you'll have to step up to some bigger injectors on the e85. I'm doing my background search now and for a boosted LS that would normally run on 60s for 93, on e85, math comes out to a 83lb injector all else being equal.

No the car was not running on 110, it was running on 100 octane. And yes i'm in the process of getting a converter for it, the one thats in it is slipping pretty bad. That's why the car doesn't trap any M.P.H. And have no accessibility issues. I live in an area that has tons of pump 5 miles from my house. My dilemma is finding someone to tune it... And i got off the phone last night with a guy that tunes for a living he said get a 60lb siemens injector.

Any suggestions for brand/size of injector???? And can anyone recommend a reputable tuner in Michigan or Northern Ohio/Indiana that will touch a 95 pcm???

Thanks!

you will need an injector capable of producing around 52lbs/hr so a set of 60's or possibly 55's depending on brand should be good...

I'm running a 42lb injector on 3 bar that can go to 52 at 4 bar.

No issues on E85

Honestly i would wait and ask your new tuner what he recommends.. Generally the tuner likes to tune his way and some don't like to push the pressure up that high...

You mean they don't like tuning stock LS engines? They are factory 4 bar...

Hey i didn't say they were right..... you know as well as i do that some tuners are real f-in idiots. Some only want to run stock pressures.. and he still is running the LT stuff.

so its either find a tuner that will do it the way you tell him to, or deal with the tuner you can get....well there is another option but most tend to steer clear.

Well unfortunately I don't have anyone to tune the car right now... There's a shitty shop around my house that is decent with LS stuff but they've butchered numerous LT cars that have went in their to get tuned. I've tried to get ahold of Speed Inc a couple of times but they haven't gotten back with me yet. A set of 60lb injectors are going to get ordered this week hopefully.
I've been told by a few people to get a 60lb injector so that's probably what i'll end up getting.
