With the e85 i tuned it to 12.0-12.5:1 even under boost up top and zero knock.

Lets just say Ill be using e85 for street use with a 2.2L 12.5:1 comp 6262 VE and see how that goes


Now i'm highly interested in seeing how this turns out....

Keep us posted please sir!

It's not the preferred manifold but, if set up correctly they work well. Big back housings and stock cams will work great.

It is not the most ideal way, but there are a fair amount of people in FL who have setup a VE with a LOG and have fantastic results!

Ends up being a setup issue as to why power is not made a majority of the time (I just came to grips with this fairly recently)

it does have stock cams, never even pulled the valve cover, i also have a .63 housing, i know it's probably not the best but i wonder how much an .82 housing would help? how much are you florida and CT guys making on similar setups?

Just curious, what was the difference in timing maps between the 93 octane and e85?

they are basically the same, maybe one or two degrees at different spots, but really the same. didn't want to push a lot due to the log manifold and .63 housing plus I was really pushing for safety.

Wow that is impressive. I thought for sure there was some extra timing optimization too. But really the only difference is e85 and 1lb psi extra?
