E85

billy leber · 10-08-2012, 09:09 PM

Kinda but not really Tom ..lol I did not change the cam when i changed to E-85,however when I broke a rod I changed the cam during the rebuild. The motor went from the Vette to the Dragster at this time so I dont know what the change did. Current cam is .866 , .808 ....283,304@.050 .

I forgot about the temperatures, mine too runs about 10 deg cooler, a little harder to get it up to 160 compaired to gas.
I havent done much in the way of tuning and testing, but reading you guys, I will be playing with jets soon.

I found starting my burnout at 160 works most consistently . I was starting at 140 and forgot to turn fan on so I continued to start at 160 for the rest of the race and liked it better.

Sounds very close to my cam ,altho I run a very wide lobe seperation.
I was thinking about E85 earlier this year,but I had 2 drums of C14 to use up so it kind of went on the back burner.

My lobe separation is 114 . I love paying $3.50 a gallon and only using slightly more fuel . 15-20% more.

Both VP and Sunoco offer E85 race fuels.
Check with Jeff Stricker at Roadrunner Race Fuels.
He's located right near Maple Grove.
