I am shocked that the injection window isn't stretching too long on ethanol (unless it is supplemented by meth).

I'd rather be the first one to physically do it rather than give somebody else the information and only get a mention.

Careful there... I live by Dave in BFE. And the BFE crowd sticks together...

Speaking of, Dave, I need to get in touch with you.

BFE has a black 427 'vert that raped both me and a mild ZR1 up, down, side to side, and back again... We figured you had something to do with that, but never caught up to find out.

I think that with as many people here in BFE know of his legend, Dave's the unofficial ruler of the BFE 1000+ club.

Okay guys, sorry been doing Street Car Takeover stuff all weekend. Ill start off by saying we didnt get it to work. We got about 90% done late thursday night and when on the dyno at around 4,500 rpms the graph would dip and shoot back up everytime. We couldnt not get it figured out. We did notice that when it did this it was commanding 2300psi of fuel pressure and only making 800-900. Nothing we did would change this number. The car was making 540 at 4,500rpms. Once I change cams we will try again just to see what happens.

Per our discussion Friday. adds da fuelz!

peak torque, fuel demand goes up, fuel volume not there, pressure tanks, optimum window missed, power goes out the back of the car in the form of a misfire.

Yup! We made 570/543 on 6lbs. The car has headers, orx, stock non npp mufflers, P1SC. These #'s were on 93 octane. Car runs great! Futral Motorsports sent my cam out today. Going to put the cam in and try E85 again. I am thinking this little P1 will be able to push some great power with more boost, E85 and the cam.
