To me E85 is pump gas. Even though its at one station here. But that station always has it. And even then driving across the country is only a tune swap away. Those in cali don't like us with 93 when they have places that only have 91.

Interesting tid bit... they may be a new fast NA mustang in town. My buddies fox that runs 10.7 at 124 with his 412whp 306... just ordered a coyote crate motor to run the coyote stock class.

Perhaps someone wired those other WOTBOXs wrong...
Lol they're very easy to wire up. Like I said though, a lot of people have that issue. Some don't.

I guess I'm just not sneaky like that. To me if the car can't do it in a form I can drive it anywhere on then it just can't do it.
+1 on the e85. Not many stations within my area, and I daily drive my car(e85 mpg is horrendous). The ONLY way I would run E85 is if I went with a ProEFI setup on my car with a flexfuel setup. That way I could run both and not worry about it.

Yeah, just use the RPM lockout. Before you start the burnout, rev to 3000 or whatever you have it set to, put in the clutch, then do your thing without worrying about the 2-step hitting whether you're touching the clutch or not. I've done quite a few burnouts with my N2MB installed - no issues once you figure it out.

I agree. That would be the only way to do it right. When they stop subsidizing the **** out e85 you'll see a price jump too. From what I understand the ethanol content can very by a significant margin.

E85 lost its subsidy almost 2 years ago, the price has already gone up and come back down. It got up to 3.30 around here and now it's down to 2.75. They've actually just recently added it to more stations around here.

I believe you need to upsize everything by roughly 20%.

I wouldn't say "easy". There is some fine soldering involved and the instructions aren't that great.

I'm actually surprized that mine works so well since I wired it myself...LOL.

Some fine soldering? It's an ignition, a ground, and clutch signal. It's pretty easy lol.

What's he got to get 412 to the tire out of a 306? Small shot?

Perhaps it's harder on a GT500?

Or you are the master of WOTBOX installing...

What do you have to do on the gt500 that makes it so much harder?

Just read both instructions. They are almost identical for the the 6 wires that need to be connected.

The tight working area, small wires to solder and heat shrink took me about 3 hours from start to finish.

If you beat that for time, you are better than me.

I did it on my old 2v... Idk took me alittle over an hour to be honest. Anyways, all I ment was I don't think all these people having issues with it was because it was installed wrong. Unless they wired it to the brake switch... But I wired mine to my clutch switch and had issues with it

The harder part on the n2mb was the laptop part lol. took me a few hours to figure out how to set it up on the laptop. My car was back firing and ****. Was a pain in the *** lol

So you've only done it on a 2V and not your 5.bro?

No... It sucked so I'm not putting it back on. And I'd rather drive my car vs something trying to assist me.
