Had Jeremy tune the car and dyno'd in Tampa - 85 degrees, 62% humidity , made 5 pulls in an hour, last pull topped 700 hp and tq at 190 degree coolant - conservative tune - car has another 40 hp in it if we did a hero run on the dyno - will make another 30 hp as is in better air
The car is a monster - making 700 ft/lbs at 3000 rpm is fun on the street
I like the forethought and plan here. Clearly you've accomplished what you were after. Nice Job!
Were these runs on E85 or 91/93 octane?
Again, nice job.
Save the wave!
The first 3 were on 93 - we went from 663 to 677 with 1 degree and some fuel - then we did 5 gals of e85 and hit 694 then another 5 gals of e85 and hit 702 - last run was 60% alc - the car loves e-85 and we coul add another 2 degrees , but are staying safe - no knock on any of the pulls at any time
Any meth on these runs or just pure e85 (60% from the looks)?
Wonder how much more room for fueling there is and if Jeremy adjusted the fuel pressure??
Meth on all runs - I can run 100% e85 and the meth will act as an additional fuel source - don't need the extra pump - I'll run an e85 blend with 93 as e85 in St Louis is actually more expensive ------?
Were you able to make those numbers without full headers (I read the mid pipe bit) and without a lower pulley? If so, that's rather unbelievable! Congrats!

No lower pulley, and these are not long tube headers - they are the 1 3/4 arh mid length headers and a corsa x-pipe - with stock mufflers etc. The power comes from the e85 and Meth - you can see the jump in power when we added E85 - and this is with a conservative tune relative to timing - there is more in this setup if someone wanted to push the limits.
I was thinking you had some sort of midpipes (based on the mods listed)...
Now I understand that you do have headers - You have the mid length headers which would be a minimum requirement with the added exhaust volume that E85 creates. This makes much more sense now!
Gotta love that midrange that E85 gives you!
I'm guessing these numbers were on a Dynojet, yes?

Dynojet - yes
The headers worked surprisingly well for the car - looking at the mods and data - longtubes would only give us another 15hp max, and depending on the header - another 10-20 ft/lbs
What's nice about the midlength arh is if I pull the tune and load the stock tune it won't throw any codes - and I'm still running cats -
I didn't think we would touch 700 - and Jeremy thought we'd peak at 670
I'd like to go back in the fall, maybe get back on the dyno in cooler weather just to make sure we are all good, we should pick up another 2-3 lbs of boost with good air

Dyno'd well
