I followed this tread from the beginning to the end! 
I'm maybe missing something but if I'd like to switch to E85, all I would have to do is buying 79 lbs injectors and get a new tune??? I would only have to do this?? I'm presently with the Eaton, 2.7" pulley and 60lbs/h injectors. I thought about E85 because like some people say, I could avoid meth and then use E85 to have the most possible power out of my setup. How much more power do you think I could get if I use E85 with a good tune?

Thanks I appreciate it. I have really been thinking about switching to e85. However I am questioning whether or not it is really worth it compared to meth and 93. The fact that you can run more timing down low is a great reason to upgrade and the fact that it has such a high octane rating is nice. Plus I wouldn't have to worry about check valves, or dirty nozzles, or plain and simply running out of meth. Is there anything you don't like about e85 yet? I am assuming the lack of availability is the only thing stopping more people from switching to e85.
edit: What injectors were you using when you dyno'd and what injectors are you upgrading to? Besides the injectors are you going to change anything else fuel system related? Such as upgrading to the return style fuel system, changing the fuel pump, adding voltage to the fuel pump etc. Or are you simply just changing the tune and the injectors?

I was just saying that when I do not have e85 readily available. Because if I drive from here to Kansas (where I'm from) I won't have it when I need it on the road, you know.

1.0 lambda on gasoline is 14.7
1.0 lambda on e-85 is 9.7:1
tuning off lambda will yield the same results on the afr gauge. setting an 07 stoich afr to 9.7 just pisses the car off to no end. the sensor doesn't know what fuel is being pushed past it. it just has a set parameters to read off of.
it still shoots fireballs like none other too!

maf tuning i use the ltft vs maf hz. works peachy for me. i have gone over 2 years tuning like this.
this is also why i spend 6 hours at a time on the rollers when i go to the dyno

lmao you crack me up...look at you getting mad because I asked that question. I asked because I don't break loose at 80 mph with 100 more whp and a lot more trap, so it sounds like an issue of crappy tires rather than power lmao
