hadvw Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I won't be having multiple maps. Strictly e85. I'm fine with giving up the option to take road trips in the LGT. You obviously are. Many here are not. Can't imagine NOT being able to take the LGT up to Tahoe, over the Grapevine, etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkinslow Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I travel more than 3 hours from home only 3-5 times a year. I have another vehicle or would rent one if needed. An easy sacrifice to run a safer fuel and more HP for the other 95% of my driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted to point out that not everyone can live with your compromises.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvick08GT Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Great numbers Gabo! My tuner also said e85 would allow him to run a lot more timing. I would also more than likely do flex fuel if i did it. Can't wait for my radiator caps to come! Lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebourne Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Your peak boost is right in line with mine, so I guess my headers don't affect that much. pic thread build thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvick08GT Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Your peak boost is right in line with mine, so I guess my headers don't affect that much. Probably not much with the vf52, bigger turbos will definately benefit from your setup. I noticed the graph said torco, my tuner is recommending I run a little octane booster to be safe with my high mileage block and the power level I'm at. Seems like Torco is the way to go, I also might try the royal purple (different compound). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shralp Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Yup, since the car spends 90% of the time on track now it's basically there for a safety margin since the car gets driven hard. Surgeline advised that the Torco tune wouldn't really make more power just safer power. This is one 32oz can per tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My tuner suggested a full point (94-95) just as insurance because of the mileage. Im thinking 1/8-1/4 can with full tank 93accelerator-ratio-93.pdfaccelerator-blend-chart.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabo Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 On another note I finally build the courage to do a pull on high boost. I've been trying to come up with a way to describe how it felt. Let's put it this way..... I did not know an AWD vehicle could suffer torque steer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shralp Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Yup, Torco accelerator is correct. I just buy it buy the six pack direct from them and mix per our 16 gallon tank capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
