Hey guys, does anyone know if there is anyone near Greensboro, NC that knows what they are doing when it comes to tuning and switching me over to E85? I am running the GT500 pumps, 35/lb injectors and a Magnuson 112 with 6lbs boost. Trying to get more HP out of this thing. I was using someone out of Charlotte, but hate having to take off work and drive 3 hours for tuning.

With a couple more pounds of boost and more timing do you think I could pull of another 70rwhp? (Currently at 430) Need it to hold me over until I pull the motor down this winter.

Don't see the relevance for tech.


If you're looking for a tuner, I recommend Lito, you can find him here on the S197 Forum.

You're not going to have enough injector to support e85@500whp. I'd say those 35's will be cranked at your current power level.

Well we just discussed that my injectors are too small so now it qualifies? Lol. Sorry. I am new to the forum and wasn't sure where to post. I have 55# injectors in my shop that I can swap in. Not meaning to sound ignorant but how difficult is it going back and forth with a tuner remotely? It was hard enough just dealing with one that was 3 hours away. He didn't want me to email logs. Wanted me to drive 3 hrs for adjustments.

Lito will send you a tune and then have you do some data logs, so he can get it perfect. Lito tunes several cars on the forum and has a great reputation. Your GT500 fuel pumps, with 55# injectors, should handle your Magnuson setup just fine.

I live nearby, where the hell do you get E85 to make it realistic. Raliegh, Yadkinville, and Pittsboro are the only closest one I know of.
