Starting Engine Mods Soon ~ Questions
So I think it's about time I start to work on my engine! My car with an Airbox mod and a Muffler some how Dyno'd 241/203 at ZZP's shop. Crazy I know.. The sheet the last owner gave me.

But back to my point. I want to get the most out of my M62..
Here's my main question.. There is a single e85 station about 2 miles from me, and it's the only one around. I could always fill up there etc. But in case of an emergency.. Would i be able to get a 93 tune on a spare Pcm and just swap them if i need?
I want to run e85 since it seems to be a great way to get power out of these things.
If I ran a set up like this on e85 and had it tuned at ZZP what should my numbers be around?
80# injectors, Airbox, downpipe, (Maybe header) 2.8" pulley, Option B, and e85.

ZZPs dyno is pretty high usually.
But with that set up you'd be in the 270-280whp range depending on the tune. Always hard to say without knowing the tuner and with most dynos being different. Header is a good idea and you're gonna want to look into a wideband gauge. Cooling mods wouldn't hurt either.
You can do the PCM swap, it'll work. But keep in mind, car will run like rough till all the corn/93 is out of its system.

PCM swap will work. Will not run great until all high octane. Good backup though, u wouldn't be the first. Also wow o the dyno. Good car for now. U should run at the track. If u good driver might be a pretty good run for little mods.
Anyways I say go full bolt on and se what u can do
