Zyborg real stupid. He thinks people are paying all this money for 1 whp. Somehow this guy picked up 43 whp when he should have picked up about 2. ******* magic.

Actually Jake, bros technically have more mods.



Exactly.



Say e85 makes 20 extra hp. 4% increase over that is like 1hp. Woopty dee do!



Jake on point. One of the few that paid attention in math class.



Another headshot.



Fatality!
Mod for mod, correct. 100%. Do you honestly think if the Bro's had ported heads and cams, even shelf cams that they wouldn't run away from Bambi?

Bullshit. If the bro had ported heads and cam and bambi had the same level of weight reduction and other suporting mods such as welds, race brakes, gears and other miscellaneous things that the 5.0s had, that complete the picture. Hell yeah theyd STILL be competitive.

FFS man, go to my youtube and watch my races. I won most of my races vs 5.0s, the ones I lost were a drivers race. Only one race where i got legit gapped and that was to a much more modded 5.0.

Im not the greatest driver and barely had any mods. There was nothing special to my car either.

I only had a CAI and catted LTs in all my races (except the last one where I had gotten catless full exhaust).

Here, Ill help you (this was the last race before I traded the thing), the guy was more modded and I still edged him out:

I don't see why all the argument is about we all know the 5.0 is a faster car vs the 5th gen . End of discussion

"End of discussion"? Haha.. really? Like you have any say in here or are providing any actual data of your own?

That myth has been debunked multiple times.. see post above.

You are completely talking out of your ***. Where are all these other mods and race brakes mentioned? They are both listed as weight reduction, how do you know who has more? Keep digging bruh.

Edit: So according to you anytime a lighter 6g Camaro races a heavier S550 mustang that should get counted as a mod, as should driver weight?

Still not able to find any NA results that would be relevant to this discussion ? That's also 60% E85 they started with.

From what I've found people aren't impressed with c85 na

No, I tried the quick google search you suggested, couldn't find any NA results or any results where they only gained the ~ 1 whp that you, Jake and Zyborg seem to think they should be gaining. You said you've seen the results where the didn't gain anything but you declined to post them.

That CTSV gained 6.5% of total engine output, more than the 4% suggested by VP and way more than the 4% of the amount gained by e85 suggested by you all. I also posted a GTR that gained almost 5% power from pump E85 that tested at 85% ethanol.

^ the only people that claim C85/ftw was beneficial was Camp LS, when it was used on a Ford, now when it's used on a GM, its suddenly useless.

This is exactly what bambi reported to me. He was not impressed, nor noticed any difference from the switch from e85 to c85. Hence, he is considering to just go back to E.

Lol at sw, trying to compare NA fuel results to boosted applications on big hp cars.... poor fella, no math skills and highly confused.

It's pretty comparable to FTW purple, I'm fine with saying that I'm wrong and the fuel does next to nothing on NA cars as long as we can all agree that FTW purple also does next to nothing.

This 4% thing has really brought to light how unintelligent the GM side of the fence is. Holy ****, this is some Punk'd ****. Waiting for Ashton Kutcher to jump out.
