Looking for advice!

What do you guys think about running e85 on a cam/nitrous setup? It would be a 100-125 shot. I have a set of 30lb and a set of 36lb injectors and a 340lph pump and a cc306 cam (Bought a sweet bundle package).

I'm curious if you would have plenty of injector. Maybe Moe can help you out.

I have a couple of buddies that run it on their mustangs. I have never done research on how the lt1 handles it or if it likes regular pump gas better.

dawdaw he likes it in his mullet mobile, I would guess you may run out of pump head if your NA power is stout.

Is this a stock bottom end car ?


Unless your really high compression it's not worth it. Will it work , yes but there are no really gains to be had unless your boosted , or high cimpressuon.


If your absolutely hell bent on running the fuel I can possibly give you a few pointers.

If its a stock bottom end car with just a cam 36lb injectors at 3 bar will be enough.

Yeah this motor is stock bottom end, just going to cam it and spray it while I build my other motor. But I would like to run more compression on the motor I'm going to build. But I don't know what compression would be best. I'm by no means hell bent on running e85. Unless I can make better power with it.

There are no real advantages on such a mild set up.

For your next motor depending on what it is yes there a some big advantages. 1.80 a gallon and it will take anything you throw at it. 14:1 compression, 300 shot , larger tuning window, oxygenated so it will make more power then pump gas or non oxygenated race gas, will cool the motor a little bit, .

Overall it's a great fuel and there are a LOT of guys switching to it because at the end of the day who wants to send 8 dollars plus a gallon for race gas when you can put a dirt cheap fuel in it and make more power? I will say there are some very big misconceptions about the fuel so don't listen to your neighbors great grand father that says it eats lines lol.

[nitronick97]

I think I need your number for when I get a little more into this other motor!

[dawdaw]

Sure ask any questions you may have about the fuel.
