How many degrees can u put for E85

[strong_j]

My car just made 640 hp and 600tq at 19*.

I know with e85 these cars love timing so how much can I really throw at it to get the numbers up??

I ran my up to 26 degrees with E85 and made the numbers in my sig! The very next run I blew the head gasket!

Seemed to love timing, started very low and it made great gains all the way up.

How much boost?

 

[strong_j]

It starts at 17lbs then goes down to 14lbs. I'm thinking some belt slip is going on.

Also what head gasket were u running??

You should probably fix the belt slip before adding timing. Your power will go up if you can keep the boost level up throughout the rpm range.

Yea I don't know how. It's the steeda 10 rib kit. With the 19lb pulleys on it.

 

[01yellerCobra]

Is there any dust around the pullies?

 

[strong_j]

That's a good question. The car is at the tuners so I can't actually see the car. But he told me the symptoms and that's what I'm assuming.

I had bad belt slip with a smaller pulley. I would go from 12psi to 5psi in a span of 200rpm. When I took the blower off the belt dust was layered under where the pulley sat.

How did u fix it?? I wish there was a way to make it cog drive or chain drive. My 04 cobra had belt slip and frankly this whole belt stuff is pissing me off. Lol.

I had to change the belt. I know I still have some because I have the dust. Just not as much. I'm still running the 6 rib set up. One of these days I'll install my 8 rib.

add until it stops making power lol, then maybe back off a degree or two

24* and 27psi. Didn't try any higher than that on the dyno. I wish I had the money to put the heads and cams that this beast deserves. Would make at least 120 more rwhp I bet.

That's interesting. I went up to 23.5 with a Whipple at 15psi but power didn't change much past 21 IIRC.
