Should run low 13's. Depending on mods as well and driver also tires you could hit 12's. I hit 13.4 @ 110 on 91 octane with GMS1 AND CATLESS DOWN PIPE only.

I'm running E85 now with full bolt ons but haven't gone to the track yet since the new mods and tune.

WOW 13.4 with GMS1 and catless downpipe only! figure e85 and a 23+psi tune will be half a second less in the 1/4 assuming good driver and tires. Id definitely expect 12's.

I hit a 13.2 with full bolt-ons and a safe or mild tune outta my car. Did not lower tire pressure and was running all seasons tires. Oh also had the football's in the rear as well. Im now tuned on a 24psi E47 and just itching to get to the terack this year!!

On street tires bottom 13's @ 114 at 23psi and the stock rev limiter (gay). I will snag a 12 on wider street tires with the raised rev limiter this year.

13.2@110 on pump gas with a K&N SRI, ZZP catless downpipe and CIA hot&cold boost tubes... no e85 around here.. not fully bolted yet.. 2 more to go but I put a zzp head on just before winter.. I'm itching to dip into the 12's with it this year. All on street tires and at 2500' elevation. Track opens in May I believe and hopefully it won't be snowing still lol.

I was with robk that night and ran 13.5 @ 110 with GMS1, DP and intake

Ive ran 50% e85, are there people running 100% e85 on GMS1?

Depending on conditions 12s. I ran a 12.9 at 115 with a 2.35 60 foot. In one of the hottest days of summer. I believe my car was capable of 12.5 at 118 at its peak.

So wait, maybe I'm reading this completely wrong, but are you saying that you ran as much as a 50% e-blend on a gms1 tune? If so.... yikes

Yeah I hope he means something else. 10% E throws the fuel trims by about 5% lean

Yeah I mean the gms1 tune file runs super lean to begin with, let alone throwing that much ethanol in the mix. I mean obviously his car survived, but wow I'm surprised he never had any issues or DTC's.

Im not sure how much he ran that night, but yes he did throw some e85 in the tank before we headed out. Also im not sure if it helped him that night or not

Well anything about 10% E on the stage tune will be very unwise. Way too lean.
