e85?

[FB6Albert]

Does anyone have full boltons/rbc running e85? I plan to in the future since the gas station around the corner has ethanol.
I would just like to know what whp/torque i should expect running e85 N/A (tuned obv)
My Mods (that i have now/plan on getting)
-Skunk2 3" catback
-PLM 3" dp
-PRL CAI
-Grams 550cc injectors
-RBC IM
-ZDX tb

You may need 100cc+ injectors to use E85 I believe. Power gain should be roughly an additional 15%.

For non-turbo/non-SC setups, it looks like 550's are good

Bingo, you need FlashPro, and if you are bolt on -- all you need is a set of 550cc injectors to support E85. We used Deatschwerks new 550cc injectors that they recently released (fits 8th gen RBC manifold).

I was using the Deatschwerks EV14 Universal line injectors that they recently came out with. I will have a deeper review on the injectors soon.

Yeah ive done a lot of research about the injectors and they all recommended 550cc minimum.. I was hoping our cars would get at least 230whp off all those mods

There's good info on the rbc and larger throttle bodies versus stock on vitviper a blog. Worth reading it all before buying throttle bodies or the manifold so you know what you're getting.

230's are possible NA. A few have hit right around that area without e85.

Anything over 210-220whp (which requires an RBC swap) is unrealistic. I watched a ton of these "220-230" claimed cars run 14's and trap 98 mph while at the track... 98mph == 190whp.

without knowing more info on the track cars.....they could also have no clue how to drive. just saying
