E85 Is not universally available here in AZ, and the alcohol content varies from about 45% up to ? So what % do you tune to? I believe our last governor wrote an edict that allows anything more than 50% to be labeled as E85. WTF?
I know a guy that carries a hydrometer in his car, and samples the fuel and adds M1 out of a 5 gallon bucket carried in the trunk. I'm not gonna do that. My car is a mountain cruiser, and that's too much hassle for me.
We can't always RELIABLY source 91 (our highest pump grade here)either.
So, I got a Razor kit, and will do what I can and stay conservative on the tune.
Turbo cars are fun here in the mountains! I've owned 2 other 87 GNs, but my all time favorite was in 1982 when I built up a 79 Pinto with a turbo'ed 2300 OHC at 20 lbs! It ran high12s on the motor BEFORE I turbo'ed it. I briefly had an old Paxton on it for a few months too, the throttle response was better than the turbo, but it would only make 9lbs. max. So, back to the turbo! I made a water injection setup with boost pressurizing the tank, and the injection nozzle was in front of the turbo inlet, so it was progressive with boost. It worked, I never hurt any parts, but I was afraid to put a bigger jet in there to really crank the boost. I thought I might hurt the compressor blades.
Ahhhhh, the old days.......
