E85 users: post your a/f ratio, boost, timing, power level

[jasjamz]

Not like you. I was not having traction issues. I was using twice the amount of boost to launch and still not able to 60ft like I did with the 3500 stall 10". The slippage with the PTC was great and the MPH was up 5mph at the same boost level. I will try another after I get some testing time with my new combo.

Actually traction wasn't the issue, it was bogging down bad.

Kevin is having the same problem with the 60ft.

Very frustrated with my car after tonights outing. 10.4@133 with a 1.7 60' with brand new slicks. The converter seems to be coupling on the 2 step and the car bogs down until about 100' out. Then the shift drops are taking me under my powerband. It was 96 degrees and 90% humidity tonight but still, car just ain't working. Good news is I made it to 30 psi on the corn. I leaned it out and added fuel back to back and still trying to figure what it likes....im still at a loss. Wasted track outing imo tonight made 5 passes and no broken parts...that's about the only plus.

Kevin, what stall did Dusty spec for you?

I got this used from Jason (jasmaz) so I'm not sure. It spools fast though. It's just my little 234" engine is struggling a little. She needs to be shifted at 6500 and stay above 5700.

The reason I asked is that my motor had a meltdown, and if my converter will help you out you are welcome to try it out. I am sure I am down for the season...again.

That is badass!!!! Didn't know they had e85 down there. Is it corn based?

 

[dandaman]

1655kg is one heavy car hey.

Ours with me in it would be 1435kg.

220kg difference. Now I understand the difference in times.

We are hoping to go 9s too next time out with a little more boost.

We have it at the pump, I think its corn based, not 100% sure though.

I love the stuff, we took a L67 with the factory blower to a 10.79@126 with it too.

Check out my other wids of the cars.

This car runs a GT42 with 28psi. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioBeNnfe9_E

You running the 3800 S2 or 3 ?

Its a series II I think. We have just fitted a stud kit, diamond pistons and L32 conrods to it. Stock heads and an Aussie inlet manifold.

We call them an Ecotec here, they dont really stipulate a series.

Yes looks a little something like this. Justin explained to me you guys call them Ecotec. That would be a series 3 L36 here. I have a Holden intake on the way to the states been in transit for about 4 weeks not sure its going to make it. I sold some Chevy bolt pattern adapter kits to a couple fellas in Perth that are going TH400 and one fella 2004R.
