Normally I would not say this but in this case richening it from 12.5 ish to 11.5-11.6 should make more power. With gasoline, richening the mixture normally leads to power loss (unless it was way too lean to begin with) but alcohol likes it rich due to its oxygen rich hydroxyl group (-OH) which provides extra oxygen for use in combustion. I love fuels that have their own oxygen source.

That is what I was trying for at the dyno. Give a comparison between a 12.5 AFR and 11.5 AFR, but it didnt happen that way when I tried richening.

Couple more that weren't on the list but dyno'd.
Alex with the Yellow SS/SC put down 214/1xx ? Don't remember his torque exactly (anybody?).
KING with the SRT put down 465/422 with that 35r setup.

I bet if you and Steve dynoed on the same dynos as the other E-85 M62 LSJs that made 295-305 whp you would see close to the same numbers. Differences sometimes come down to the dyno.

Yeah that is basically what I ment. The cars in the NE tend to have the highest dyno numbers and fastest trap speeds for the most part due to the mine shaft like DA's they have up there. Florida can be bad as far as DAs go even though we are at sealevel in summer we have 95-100* temps and 70-100% humidity levels. Heck it ws 84* here yesterday and 60% humidity LOL.
