check out this car. Your car should make that hp easy with 532ci of your. Impressive with just e85 fuel. no IC no meth injection.

Bruce,

That is so funny that you would mention that. Dan Bills was trying to talk me into that last Friday. If E85 would work I would do it in a second, but if I have to order a drum of straight alcohol then it would be too much of a hassle... Where is Rick? That would be an easy fix for me as I'm getting sick of being held back!! It just goes to show you, making big power is NOT easy.... at least it hasn't been for me.

I think with E85 this will solve your intercooling problem and engine running hot problem, you have say that the large IC blocking the radiator causing your car to run hot. The only thing running E85 fuel is that your motor will sucks up a lot more fuel in volume. If you are getting 12gallon a mile on gas. With e85 you might get 6 gallon a mile.

I think e85 flex fuel would be awsome on turbocharged cars. Run low boost on gas. Turn up the max boost on e85 with boost controller.

BTF, he is still around in the shop. I stop by once in a while to chit chat, cars stuffs.

Ahhhh... yes, those were good times in the ZR1.... you take old Romey-Rome way back (from the highly acclaimed sit com "Martin" featuring the comedic genius of Martin Lawrence.)

I spoke to Dan yesterday and all systems are go.. Now, all I have to do is buy another motorcylce chain, buy a u-bend to bypass the IC, and fire up the Tig welder so I can put Frankenstein back together!! As a side note Aeromotive told me that running E85 would reduce my fuel pump life by 60%.... oh well. Dwight (DDSLT5) will give me the money for new pumps when the time comes!!!! This combination is a natural for me as I've always had a scary fascination for alcohol based products..
