Im looking for some safe tune ups for e85...big shot plate stuff.

Maybe 100, 150, 200, 250.

thanks

~20 number spread larger on the fuel @ 5psi has worked perfect for me...my a/f is still a little fat, but the plugs are very clean (ethanol doesn't color the plugs as easy as race gas). Some tunes that I have used:

63N/82F @ 5psi
73N/93F @ 5psi
82N/[email protected] 5psi
93N/[email protected] 5psi
102N/[email protected] 5psi
110N/[email protected] 6.5psi (went from 11.5 a/f on the other tunes to 12.5 a/f with this tune)

I am using e-100 now, but the tune didn't change from e-85...just cleaned up my a/f by .5
Not busting balls, but wouldn't e100 be richer than e85?110n-120f would be leaner if had stayed at 5psi but you added a full 1.5# of fuel pressure which probably should have fattened it up quite a bit,even if you did add .08 of nitrous jet?you sure that jetting and pressure is correct?I have been trying to use e85 on the nitrous side as well as the motor but cannot get a clean pass
No, not at all...think about it...you have to richen up your carb/nitrous tune to run e-85 vs gas. Once you get the carb/nitrous tune correct for e-85, then again if you move to e-100 you have to richen it up further to keep the tune correct. However, there is not much difference between e-85 and e-100.

I've had 0 problems running e-100 on my 6AL box...I'm not making much power either though. I also close my gap to .020. I'll post a vid or two...
