Nice numbers, let us know how it holds up.

Wish we had an E85 station close.

I am running 80# injectors and i would think you could get around 650-675 on the low side if i had to guess and thats with a 1-1 regulator and i am pretty sure i made 668/700 on 13-14#s of boost so probly stay around 13-14#s and you would be good! I only wish i had more turbo because i made 801/828 on 19#s so i really only gained a little hp and pretty good amount of tq going from 19 to 23#s

i was out of injector with E85 at 5500 on 11psi and 8* timing. I made 554rwhp/570rwtq with 60s at base 68 pressure

What size injectors are you running, jkalwei?

How far do you think I can go(hp and boost) with a turbo 5.3 on E85, running 60 lb injectors?

you think its your turbo(what are you running anyways?) or the stock heads reaching a limit on what they can flow?

[George C]

injectors can only produce so much fuel period. E85 requires a sh1t load of fuel. On gas 60s at 58 base with a 1:1 is good for around 700 hp. I was also on a mustang dyno. My heads flow very well so does my intake and cam. I make my power NA with having a healthy setup.
if anyone planning to make power on E85 look into the FIC 95lb high impedence injectors. At 68 base they are 118lb injectors. just recently purchased these for 600

i was asking jkalwei, but ok. haha

[jkalwei]

It could be the heads but i think its the turbo and i am running a mp 76mm with a .96 housing! But it doesnt really bother me i am going with a 408 and a 88mm with the 160# injectors and bigger pump!

Congrats on the #'s.

btw, did you take it to the track, what are the track times, or does it just see the dyno?
