Any e85 guys in the charlotte nc area

[brent lovett]

Making the switch to e85 and just wondering if there is anyone in the charlotte area who has some experience. Want to be sure I get it right the first time. The few people that I know around here are all too busy and say they can't get to me until spring.

I talked to them and they can't get to me until March. Was hoping to get it all done before then but looking like I may have to wait

Switching to E85 isn't that big a deal , but first we need some info . What are your " goals " as in ET , racing , fast street car . What mods does your car have already ? Stock fuel lines will take you pretty far . Do you work on your car yourself ? If so like I said before , it's not bad at all .

Twin 340lph in tank pumps and I think he has braided fuel lines. Made 700 on dyno previously. Race buckets, no rear seat, cage, fiberglass dash, real light. Fast XFI2.0 and currently 95# inj but going bigger for E85. Believe he is wanting to add flex fuel sensor and be able to run 93 or E85.

Wow , I didn't expect that !! Bigger injectors & a new tune ...... done ! Worry about the flex fuel sensor in March , and even that is no big deal . Here's a link for flex fuel & XFI . http://www.turbobuick.com/threads/fast-xfi-flex-fuel-sensor.411418/
I made 706 hp on E85 with the same pumps , 120 lb injectors @ 82.5 % duty cycle .

I think he might be wanting to top the 700 mark

This makes no difference on power but the car has a stage 3 Detroit speed suspension and steering box. That definitely helped out with weight and the car handles like a dream
