quick question
what mods do i need to get away with running a 2.6 pulley on the stock s/c other than the 60lb and proper tune? will a H/E? do the trick for cooling?

i have...60lb,h/e, header, dp, catback, ls4 t/b, 3in Intake, plugs, stage 2+ clutch, flywheel, short throw, tune...i just wanted to see what was safe to run the 2.6 if i can get away with just getting a dual pass on top of the h/e ill go that route

e85 burns cooler nothing more
e85 is really good at suppressing knock but not pre ignition the octane on pump e85 is really inconsistent due to the blending process is done at the pump and the slow burn rate of e85 will allow an engine to make more torque and horse power low in the rpm range but the slow burn rate hurts an engine to make more power in the upper rpms

Dual pass is not a temp recovery mod, it slows the climb of iat2 during a pull.
OptB is not a cooling/recovery mod itself. Only indirectly by making sure your system is operating at capacity.
Front mounts are a wash, at least the currently available ones. The only nice thing about them is that due to the larger coolant capacity of the system, iat's will climb slower during the first pull/run due to more availability of "cool" coolant.
I do not recommend running a 2.6 on a gas car. At all. Unless you're going to get creative with custom cooling mods.

so i read the article (thanks to mr b) and i have a question. lets say we go WOT or close to it and i know in the lsj's fuel is cut when we back off and we run lean after a certain rpm. so is it ok to say don't just jump off the throttle? or is just a gradual slow down good?

as for front mounts one that is most worthy is the dual pass off of the cobra mustangs works very well the griffen is another bad ass unit as for the zzp stealth I would like to try one
as for running a 2.6 plenty have done it with no help (cooling mods) and im sure plenty will continue
dual pass is for recovery times I have ran a single pass and a dual pass and as for temp control neither slowed down the rise but what mad a difference was water/meth I even tried the phenolic spacer no help there either as now I am running a stock manifold
