L61 & e85

Is anyother L61's running E85? I just converted on friday. The car feels so different now that its on E. Vince did a very good job tuning for it. Curious if any other boosted 2.2's are running it.

We were tuning for 14psi but i ran out of injector on my 60's. I ordered 80's and we will be back at it tuning.
Dyno numbers will be coming soon.

i am as well. my last dyno was on my sc setup and the numbers were dissapointing. Anyways, i had to turn it down to 5psi due to the injectors being maxxed out. Shes still pretty quick on 5psi, nothing to write home about but still. The engine runs much smoother it seems, the power is much more fluid if you will.

Are you on a stock motor? I have been curious about the e85, But Im worried about the added timing on top of being boosted might break something.

I've been running e for like 3 weeks now. 17 psi on the bullseye s256. It feels a lot smoother than pump gas. My question is how the heck are you on stock bottom end with 14 psi on a 57 trim?

It does really feel alot smoother. gas milage is so-so not that it bothered me when i made the switch. The car dosent seem to like cold starts, i need to address that when the 80's go in. As far as my bottom end, i have no idea really, im trying to push the limits of the bottom end and i have previously ran 16psi on the M62. So i kinda want to see the true failure point of the internals especially now that im running E85.

I wonder if E85 will allow us to push the power levels on a stock bottom end

Kind of off topic, but I think it's funny that one of my co-workers gets irate when anybody talk about using ethonal for cars. His argument is that corn should only be used to feed his cows. Honestly I do not like the guy. So keep on using the ethonal to drive up the price of corn.

What injectors were you using that you maxed them out
