Default E85 tuning on Pro Charger setup.

Well we are giving E85 a shot on the stock cam, fuel system. This will be a test to see just how much these fuel systems will make. My car has a P1SC, 10 lb pulley, Kooks 2" headers with ORX...stock non NPP mufflers and manual transmission. The car is much more responsive on E85 just driving it around. We are putting on the dyno tonight....stay tuned.

I tuned my 2012 SS for E85, it was otherwise stock. Big improvements can be had!

Some have said even in stock form the C7 can't handle E85..... :-(

Well I do know a stock LT1 5.3l made 500 on e85. They made right at 500rwhp on E85 with stock cam and fuel system. I would hope the Corvettes have a little more beefy setup.

StangKilr,

We here are in the office are all waiting to hear the results.

Your car is going to be very exciting for the C7 owners for a few reasons.

1) How far can she go on E85 with stock stuff
2) How far can you push that P-1SC-1 once you have a Cam
3) What will she make with the "big blower"

True hot rodding is about pushing the boundaries, and exploring whats possible. Thank you sir for doing just that.

Stock fueling system has me very worried, but I will say this...

You, sir, have very large ***** to go out on a limb to try this out. I'm really hoping it holds together for you.

Side note: do you seriously have 5 gas choices there? I don't see a diesel or E85 dispenser on the opposing pump, but 5 buttons... Here in MO, we have small, medium, and large.
