I talked to Lund about going E85 and we both agreed it would be pretty well pointless for me to do so with how the car is. It isn't worth it for a bolt on car, really. Unless like Poppa said and you just want more timing.

Now, when the car is boosted, it will be 100% on E85 all the time.

 

Keep reading......but the fbo i ran said he picked up 16 or 18whp. Then he said he picked up about the same on $30 per/gal ftw e85. So this is what you have to watch. 5br0s are sneaky.....one could easily say e85 and pick up 30+hp by using ftw.
The problem with the comparison made is it's a max effort 5br0......compared to a h\c ls7 and the 5br0 still don't match tye power. Now stroke and build the ls7 and recompare.

Fyi....max effort h/c ls7 has been over 700whp.
Troof
Lolz
Not telling the whole story


Ps....send muh $20 pleaze
I guess you should go back to pump then.....and not cry about it.
Excuses? A fbo e85 best furd makes beat a 12 yr old Cadillac sedan by a car .....lol
FP'd trans don't help if your shifts are already quick and clean. Btw....a fp'd trans don't add hp.


E85 did win this one. There is a reason you're running it.

 

Coyotes aren't that fast.... The fastest one I've raced had cobra jet intake, full exhaust, e85, 1 piece ds, $1200 clutch, gears, $2000 worth of comp stage 3 cams, CAI, tb, etc. ALL OF THAT and its pretty much a drivers race. I have a $500 clutch, stock gears, stock driveshaft, 91 octane, stock intake airbox

 

Then why do you have one if it does nothing?

 

Keeps from thrashing sycros......pretty simple. I did mine 8yrs ago.


Just a little fyi.....fcar mostly but early t56's didn't have triple cone sycros like gto/vettes/v cars.

 

Yeah, but even 20rwhp in the midrange is not THAT huge of an advantage in the grand scheme of things. Now with FI, 100more rwhp in the midrange... well... thats nom nom biscuits.

 

Lol.....20 usable hp is huge. It made the difference in this race. My bet is the 5br0 woulda lost without e85.

Comments like this is why i prefer n/a.

 

FI rulez x1000.

F1A, or Hellion twin kit.... whachuthink Hio?

 

Hard decision. I love the sound of a procharger and it's instant power but turbos are hard to beat. I'd probably go with the twin setup if it was me. But I'm not Hio so I don't know **** :/.

 

Heh.. I am leaning to twins also. They are making massive power, and the 15 5.0 engines are holding 800rwhp pretty reliably so far(Boss bottom end). I like the simplicity of the Procharger install though. Helped a buddy of mine put his D1SC on his 15 Mustang this weekend. Wasn't too bad, and could probably do mine in half the time now that I have gone through it.

 

Blower installs might be easier than turbos but I constantly read more issues with blowers after the fact than I do with turbos.

 

I think you're a furd guy. You need boost to keep up.

 

lol

Trust me, go twins. I have personally seen a TT Coyote and a Centri Coyote in person running, riding in both, and I would never have any other form of boost than turbo's on these cars.

 

Hio- I don't cry about ****....your seriously the only person in America that doesn't admit a Faceplated trans is huge! I run E85 because yes it helps some.... Just like Faceplating.

 

Actually I'm not the only one. Some one did a write up here on tech about. Hammer posted the link once but i don't have it. Like i said.....if you're banging gears quick and smooth like you....like hammer....like myself pre fp. Then it won't help. Basically when you power shift you stab the clutch as fast as you can and pull the gear. Now if you're already stabbing the clutch as fast as you can then there is no time to be gained.

Unlike e85 which reduces et by 2-3 tenths if tuned right. So no....they are not "just like" at all.

Another un just likeness is one you are relying on getting into another gear faster to help your acceleration......the other accelerates the car faster AFTER the shift at ALL times the gear is engaged .

No likeness at all really. Just wishful thinking on your part.

 

E85 is def worth it on a bolt on bro. The problem is the cost...

 

So....your tranny was awesome pre fp, but you spent monies on it anyways.

So....you talk about stabbing the clutch, but when you race you don't use the clutch with your fp trans.

LOL....wow...WTF...and...

 

Fixed for you.

Looking into a Limitless Performance twin kit also. Guy with a 2015 Stock motor, stock driveshaft, stock axles, stock 6R80 etc etc just went 6.4 and 6.2 1/8th. Still dialing in. These cars are beasts with boost. Dem' LS motahs don't stand a chance.

I need to figure out how to capture, post FB post videos.. anyone know? Here is a screenshot of his post. No times on the vid though.. looks like it was a grudge race. That 6.2 was an easy mid-high 9 second run. STOCK unopened motor. FTW.

 

I could shift faster with a faceplated Trans yes. Would I go quicker? Yes. Since when is 10rwhp worth .2-.3???? Your reaching hard man....really hard....and you look dumb doing it.

 

Doug looks like a mental midget and actual midget on a daily basis.
