Why are your inlet temps so high? inlet air temps have a very dramatic affect on egts. It's not a 1:1 ratio.

My buddy put together a forged 347 with TFS heads and BTR cam.

YSi
17* timing
22lbs boost
11:1 CR
E85
It made 920 to the tire through a T56 and 3.42 C6Z diff.

Pulled the timing back to 15* and flogs on it constantly. 9.4x@155+

E85 is a great option for building a boosted combo.

11.25:1, 427 (4.1 stroke) Ls3, 18 degree and 12psi. I'd like to see it with more timing, but I really don't need more.

I'm almost done with my 427 UPP kit. It's on e85 and will be on the road course as well. The local guys are giving me some advice too. I don't expect this to be easy and cooling is going to be the biggest issue. E85 is the least of my concerns.
