No o'doyle rules. LS is pretty good

 

E85 did win it. With out e85 in the 5br0 it woukda maybe been a dead heat at best or the stang woulda got pulled

 

Just for reference how much power are you thinking a NA coyote gets from E85?

 

My tuner said I would get at best 10whp from e85 on my boss

 

I agree that it's a no brainer but my point had nothing to do with which engine is better. Keep in mind that I said usable power. For all I know the Coyote makes more power under the curve from 6000-8800 than the LS7 from 5000-7200 (most likely RPM ranges they'd be in while drag racing, depending on gearing). My point was simply that it seems like he's misrepresenting the power those engines are making in the midrange as being equivalent.

 

E85 isnt really about peak gains on ANY NA engine its about what comes in the midrange and before redline. For that it provides solid gains, every time the car shifts you're dropping into a much higher powerband.

I laugh when people down play e85 as a "do nothing 10hp" mod. It gains a lot on any engine just not at peak but for some reason 5.0 guys near me love to play it off as though they did it for the cheaper fuel price .

And this is why I'm going with e85 on my car. Have my flex fuel sensor already just need injectors (as well as my GPI intake and UD pulley) before going in for the tune. It's also much cleaner. Buddy of mine runs exclusively e85 in his truck and his engine oil after 6000 miles looks just as clean as it did the day it first came out of its container. Thats a big plus especially for the newer direct injection engines. Carbon build up has been a big problem with them.

 

If I move back down to soflo in a year or so i will def switch to e85. but now up in cocoa the closest station is 20 miles away whereas in soflo it was 5 min in either direction

 

You guys are lucky to have race gas at the pump

 

Hells ya in soflo it's almost the same price as regular though :/ Midwest gets it cheap

 

Good kill...was expected.

 

E85 on a NA Coyote is only good for 10rwhpish

 

maybe at peak but its much better than 10whp in the mid-upper rpm range

 

Yep 8-12. These guys are reaching hard. They think the **** pulls miracles.

 

Come on man you know its gods jizz. But yeah LS guys always have the excuses flowing.

 

Bro's claim e85 does nothing. They make the switch for fun

 

Na man it saves the environment. Bro's are environmentally proactive.

 

Honeslty, unsure why anyone would want to go E85 NA unless they want a max effort NA setup and want to run some extra timing. Only way I would go E85 is FI. I am trying to look into a flex fuel setup for my build. E85 is not plentiful in my area, so I want to be able to throw 93 octane in and roll as needed.

 

Ya if I can get a dual map pcm and a sensor I'd do the same thing. It really is for people trying to squeeze all they can from their setup. But like stated e85 might only show 10 at peak but usually 15-20 in the midrange. Lots of people like to forget to admit that part....That goes for any engine though not just a 5.0.

Saying e85 gains 10whp and doesnt do much of anything is like saying a boss intake is a waste of time because it loses low end tq and makes 5whp more at the factory redline.

 

Kinda like faceplating trans doesn't help LS guys lol. I can admit E85 helps but its minimal. But E85 isn't winning all these races.
