Default Another quick fueling thread...

Basically wondering if the C7 coupe/non-Z06 fuel system will need any upgrades to run E85 and a 150-175 wet nitrous shot.

Figuring the following mods...

-E85 FFS
-Headers/catless x-pipe
-Ported Intake and TB
-Aftermarket Intake
-Tune
-175 shot


Assuming cam is stock and everything in the fuel system is too, will this work? Or will I need a Z06 pump or something else?

Thanks for the help!

you will be fine on fuel with a wet shot. a wet shot gets fuel before the high pressure system and there is plenty there for what you're doing.

a dry shot, you may have an issue. keep in mind you will need to use different jets on E85 than you will for E0/E10 to get the same power/AR ratio.

Indeed, would prefer wet shot and yeah I know that E10 (we don't have E0 around here - that I know of anyway) jetting would be different. Would likely run it on E85 only and get all the power I can

Thanks mang!


Any special LT1/DFI-Specific tricks on nitrous for these cars?
