So, do you have updated internals running that much power? Or, are you on a safe tune considering you are running E85? Almost 700rwhp and almost 600rwtq is awesome stuff.
Yah it's a safe tune, and I'm really not hard on her.

It should sound the same. The cams already on there should keep sounding like that. Can't wait till she's all fixed up for you man!

A place out in Saint Louis called StlMustangs. They converted it over to E85 for me and tuned my car.

Very cool. I debated going E85... but eh, I'll stick with my meager 600whp. Wife thinks I will kill myself in this car already. LOL.

It's all about self control.

As of right now, this is where I stand.

They just have to break in the engine and then it is off to the dyno!
I missed this post Sean!

Unless you're going to be running high power applications with your engine, E85 is a little pointless. Yes it burns cooler but it's less efficient and in some places it can be hard to find. I live in San Antonio Tx and I have to look for places around here that carry it.

Having said that, I am considering switching my fuel of choice to E85 specifically for the reason I mentioned, because in Texas there's no such thing as too much cooling.

It was about an 80 hp increase for me and it is available everywhere in St. Louis. That's why I did it.

Iowa has a ton of E85 as well - I just haven't pulled the trigger yet. My buddy in his 2015 STi, he went E85 too, and putting down 400whp, with a tad more boost and bigger injectors... that's it.

It was so simple. ID 1000 injectors, boost pump, tune and done. However I only use it for racing which is very rare. Long cruises I get around 12 mpg at 60 ish mph. With my 93 tune I get 24/25 doing the same speeds.

There is a lot of maintenance with running E85, I have read. Is this true?
(Cleaning or replacing injectors frequently and other things I have read from Josh over at Whipple. I think it was him. It may have been another vendor. Not sure.)

It's more of a headache on a daily driver.

Not mine, but cleaned up my family friend's 2008 GT500 vert. Taking it to a local show tonight to see if I can find a buyer for her. He's probably late 70s and just can't drive it anymore - she only has 7k miles! Custom cream leather interior with red piping, custom white top, painted white stripes, Alpine double din head unit with backup camera. Anyone interested? Drivetrain is stock minus Flowmaster axlebacks.

I took photos. That's what I did. A couple from my driveway. Covered in CG ButterWet, over CG Blacklight and 4Star Polymer.
