Made the Switch to E-85 ***UPDATED w/DYNO GRAPH***
Today I went to Carz to get some fuel system upgrades and a tune for E-85. I ended up making exactly 323.4whp/323.4wtq at 23.9psi. My mods are as follows:
Megan Racing CB
Street Concepts High Flow Cat
TurboXS DP
Forge UNOS MBC
Cobb Intake
Aeromotive Fuel Rail
PTE 880cc Injectors
Walbro 255lph Fuel Pump
I was very pleased with the results for my fairly limited mods. It drives fantastic. Working with the Carz staff was very enjoyable. They were extremely professional, and they do great work. I would highly recommend their services to anyone.
I have added the dyno graph under the car pictures.

Reason: Added Dyno Graph
my first tune on e85 when i was on 23.5psi i made 350whp but justin didnt want to go any higher because i didn't yet have head studs, but then i got head studs and cams and MORE boost!
assuming that is probably the same reason you stayed on the "conservative side" of your tune?
but good numbers for your mods. no doubt on that! plus the car looks good, loving the silver
That is awesome!! Can I ask why you only went with 24 psi? I figured lots of people were doing e-85 and turning up the boost to like 27-28psi.
I am just watching what others do so I can see what kind of power the cars are making so I can see what my car will make on e-85.
I bet your IX on 24psi will make more than my VIII on 28psi...
There were really three reasons. First, Lucas didn't want to go over 24psi without head studs. Second, I am still on the stock clutch, and would like it to last a little longer before I upgrade. Third, this still gives me more power to look forward to without spending too much more money . Going from just a TBE, intake, and tune (with no MBC), this made for a nice power upgrade for me. I like working my way into more power. I am happy for now...we all know how long that will last.
Same thing I did when I tuned on alky I talk to Justin and we both agred that 24lbs. is good until I get head studs.
Headstuds Shmeadstuds.. Im rock 28psi daily on stock headstuds no issues so far but im special!! Get headstuds For that added safety Its probaly a good idea.

Please know I meant no disrespect....I was just curious.
I bet you your car is fast as hell
Hey Bam Bam.....I guess I can pretty much figure on the same hp as yours on e-85 right....cause you have stock 8 turbo and only 24 psi...right?
You will have more you are camed. But I will let you knwo in may what the real story is the EVo is going under the nife and coming out to a close 400 or 390 mark. with the stock turbo I am hoping.

Scott, what turbo you running. I think if you have the 8 turbo, I would say closer to 360-370.
