what fuel are you going to use? Wonder how E85 dose with nitrous?
Keep in mind that that's a dynapack. So numbers are at the hub, not the wheels. Whp won't be too much less though. But did they not show the hp numbers with the nitrous? I didn't see it in the vid. Just the graph but I couldn't see the numbers
"Flex fuel", pretty much E85 when I can get it or regular 93 octane. I've seen some pretty impressive numbers with E85 in both NA and FI though.
I have seen awesome numbers on boost but haven't seen anything with nitrous and E85.
I think this guy was at a 16:1, but Im not sure if that was his last engine or this one.
The good thing about E85 is that its cheaper than regular gasoline and performs like race gas. The downer is getting it! I don't know why Fresno didn't get a E85 station! And to make things worst VP stopped selling 100 at the pump! only 87 89 and 91!
If I had easy access to E85 I would be running a 13:1-14:1 comp ratio instead of 11.5:1 Would have at least squeezed out another 15-20hp and about 10-15Tq.
blown headgasket?? look at the catch can setup..smokes alot out the fikter under load

IIRC, there's dimensioning returns past about 14:1 ratio and I probably wouldn't be able to take advantage of it with street fuels. Though, with my engine the combustion chamber would be VERY small(it's still under 1.6l) so it wouldn't work out so well for me anyways.
E85 stations are rare around here too hence why I'm using Flex fuel compatible ECU(Megasquirt). It's very possible to run high compressions on pump as long as it's tuned and combustion chamber has been "optimized". There's quite a few people rolling around with ~12.5-13.5CR on pump fuels. One guy was boosting on 11.5:1 CR though I forgot what fuel he was using(IIRC made about 400hp with low boost).
