E-85 and pulley.

haha get off my back guys...i live in DENVER...there is NO air up here...a 14.6 up here equates to a round 13.4 down at sea level... and if i can just keep up with Ls cars in the gp i will be happy...so really im just looking for a second or two drop. my plans are, full exhaust, ported S/C, I/C, E-85, and pulley drop. as well as the minor support mods.

the intercooler will net you most of what youre looking for.

Definitely, and don't get an ssic that is not worth just spending a little more on a full size. They sorta work but all they will do is give you a blanket of security on your current setup instead of letting you drop pulley sizes. They get heat soaked by the 1/8 mile and are really hard to tune with in my experience. If you are getting an i/c get a full stack.
 
when i go IC i will go all out. including another companies front mount that takes up almost all of the front bumper opening. but that wont be for a while...i am going to be workin on the bird to get her show quality by next spring! then i will play with the gp a bit
 
The only thing in the front might be a heat exchanger. If you were to do a FMI, your gonna have lag. The eaton blowers aren' setup like say a vortec/procharger, eaton blowers utilize a "stack"intercooler. The rotors in the eaton would re-heat the cooled air from a front mounted intercooler, thus being about pointless. If im wrong, someone please correct me?

I think he was talking about using someone else's FMHE, not a FMI.
 


ya, sorry for not clearing that up! a larger FMHE. and what does it take for a gp to beat the sti guys running around with slight mods?
 
grrr cause there are a LOT up here...and i love the push rod....its just a lot better with 2 extra cylinders. but i have decided to just go ic and pulley and put the rest of my money into the bird for a bit!

No way you can run a 3.25 with E85, maybe a 3.4 but i'll bet you'll still have knock. I have more mods than you and meth injection on top of that and i barely can run 3.20 pulley, but i also run 21* of timing and have better e.t.'s than anyone with my mods.

bio248.... running a 2.8 pulley with your mods on e85 is going to result in a blown engine. I wouldn't suggest it, not even thinking about it. E85 doesn't have the effect you guys might think it does without an inter cooler. If you really want to see the good effects of e85 get an inter cooler or a high compression bottom end. It might say i'm a newb because i don't post here a lot but trust me i know what i'm talking about.

I just wanna touch up on something here.....before I did the meth injection, I was running a 3.2 on the street...3.0 at the track on 92. Now, with the kit I'm running a 3.0 street and 2.8-2.6 at the track. It can be done with supporting mods, and it's all in the tune.

And back before headers I had stock mani's with a 3.25.....so I can't see why E85 won't help out by quite a bit, but altitude does play a pretty big factor in NA cars....not quite as much with forced induction.

Well on e85 i run a 3.2 with less mods than you and ran a 12.82... it is beneficial but again, pulley size has nothing to do with how much power a car makes, the tune does. I can throw a 2.8 on my car and run 10* of timing all day long if i wanted. So far with no i/c, no cam, stock blower, tb all that stuff I've trapped 106.23mph with no juice. On the juice I'm at 115.72 ohh, it's a dry shot too. When are you people going to get the pulley size doesn't f-in matter!
