Default Re: E85- Custom Tune

With a N/A engine the air charge is not heated up so the cooling effect from the ethanol is less and this is why we see very little gain if any from E85.

We run E85 in our race car (302 short, BPR Race Spec heads and BPR Custom grind Cams from Crow Cams, 380Kw N/A) all this does for us is gives more consistant KW figures on the dyno, we only drop like 2-3 Kw across 10 runs in a row, where with pump fuel we see more like a 10kw drop across 10 runs..
