At what point would you start recommending switching to e85? My original goal was 600whp with deka 80s and a single walbro 450 but I'm moving soon and don't know where yet so I'm hesitant to commit to e85 just in case the area I end up moving to doesn't have e85 easily accessible. Would 91 be safe enough to support that power level without having to add meth?

[@williambell7763]

As someone who has most of the info from this channel, I'd say probably not, add a meth injection and feed it rubbing alcohol and higher boost when you feel like making power but keep it on low boost so you dont have fill it constantly. Or prove me wrong and give results I'd love to see it.

[@xozindustries7451]

Can you explain the difference between tuning with Lamda vs AFR? Have you ever done that?

[@bransonfleischman2233]

Thomas Cahill lambda is just the ratio of air to fuel. It is on a scale of 0 being only fuel 1 being stoichiometric and above one being more air than fuel. To convert lambda to AFR for gas, multiply whatever the lambda is by 14.7. (stoichiometric for gas) a wideband calibrated for gas will read 14.7 AFR at lambda 1 out of the box. If you run e-85, your lambda is still 1, but your actual AFR is 13.5. On a wideband calibrated for gas, the gauge will read 14.7 if you have an actual AFR of 13.5. it’s just how the fuel burns. Lambda is the same for everything, so it’s nicer for stuff if you tune on weird fuels, but anyone can correct with a normal wideband.

[@MET90LX]

I don’t understand why people use the no e85 near me as an excuse. Companies like ignite and vp you can get e85 shipped to your door for not much more than you can buy it at the pump...

[@Ribbityibzki]

For a daily it kinda sucks to have to run back home to fill up if you're going for a day trip or something. Knowing you have a safe tune that makes lots of power on whatever you put in the tank is good peace of mind.

[@MET90LX]

Ribbityibzki ok that’s a good point. This isn’t something most people would daily but I can see if you’re street driving a lot the hassle of ordering fuel would be annoying.

[@Ribbityibzki]

@@MET90LX Yeah for a race car that gets trailered to the track there's no reason to not order fuel. I could see this rig being the kind that drives to the track and drives home. If it's in an area like mine it's an hour drive to the track. Kind of a waste to order a bunch of fuel and then burn more of it driving to the track than actually going down the track.

Matt you say it needs more octane to make more Hp but I thought it was a scientific deal that octane doesn’t make more power. (Bc you increased spark and it didn’t really like it as is). Just asking for knowledge 👍🏻

[@SloppyMechanics]

Some setups are octane limited and some are limited by the parts, this setup classically goes much farther on better fuel, so that is why i am saying octane would more than likely afford more power if they wanted to do that

[@alltheboost5363]

I don't understand why you just dismiss the water-methanol so quick... a lot of us don't have the opportunity to run E85 cuz it's not where we are but it should be a great alternative. I've been running water meth for over a decade and there's a huge difference in my setup granted it's not an LS it's an old straight 6 that's boosted. I get knock around 17 18 degrees without the water meth on 24-25 lb of boost and with the water meth I run the same at 24 degrees and it's a drastic change. dialing in your nozzle size and when it comes on is the hardest part you want it to be on the verge of spitting because it's too much octane as boost is coming on but once it's at fullboost it's in The Sweet Spot all the way to redline... sounds like he's got a small nozzle in it. Don't take my ignition timing numbers the same as an LS ignition. LS are way more efficient than my old piece of shit.
