So it's about Christmas time, which means more goodies for the car.
I've searched and searched but can never really find a good suggestion.
I'm currently on zzp s3 tune, 60#s, CAI, full 2.5" exhaust 2.8 pulley. i'm looking for a not too expensive but a decent gain.
Would 60#s on e85 make good? or should i go to 80#s on e85.
I don't see TVS or turbo swap anywhere in the near future, just looking to stick with what i got, so my only options seem to be e85 with possibly new injectors/tune.
Suggestions, or how harmful could this be ? lol

I think a 2.9 on 60s with E85 is the limit My idcs were around 95% with a 2.9.. Just get 80s and run any pulley you want

well i'm on 2.8,
roughly how much of a gain would 80#s on E be from where i'm at now? lol
would it be worth it in other words.

You can manage 2.8 with e.. but you need supporting mods like exaust and intake for flow.

i have all of that, i'm currently on 2.8, 60#s, full 2.5 exhaust, and intake.

going ethanol is well worth it... It's also safer but you need to keep up with it. Meaning keep in contact with Ure Tuner with issues if they occer and get tuned at least twice a year. Winter and.spring..

Well you can manage the 60 s and e then with Ure pulley. Yeah idcs will be around 85-95% but its still reasonable. I have a guy here in Indiana running the 2.8 and 60 s with e and his idcs didn't go above 93% so it can be done.

what kind of hp gains will he see on E?

Alot lol

even being on 60#s?
I'm highly considering it, seeing as that would only require a retune lol
