Love to see one of the exhaust guys do this

I was on svtperformance.com earlier and saw how a fellow member mounted a Flip Mino HD with Delkin suction mount on his rear bumper and did 3 WOT pulls.

Notice how hard the hoosiers grip at this power level on the street. I was also wondering if the E55 AMG platform can be tuned on E85 like alot of the cobra's are switching over too. They are making copious amounts of tq over gas tuning which makes me think what our beast could turn into as they are tq monsters to start off with. I do know that HP/TQ is much higher on E85 at the same boost level and timing as the fuel is so much cleaner than gasoline.

For anyone interested, the mods are:

2004 SVT Cobra
2.6 Kenne Bell @ 23psi
3.27 gear
335 Hoosier Drag Radials
Killer Chiller
Tuned on E85
BBK Longtube Headers
BBK offroad X-pipe
Bassani Catback
Making above 650rwhp, it is not disclosed though

I've got a 480p keyfob camera that shoots good video with decent audio - and it would be even easier to mount that to the car.

in order for us to run e85, we would need bigger injectors (twice what we have now), and a bigger fuel pump. plus a tune. e85 being pretty corrosive, we have to ensure our fuel lines are all steel. it will eat up rubber and alum after time.

Yes, I am pretty sure they run upgraded lines, dual GT pumps (fords super car), and 83lb squirters. E85 has not hit the market commercially yet, but it is super cheap and the tuners can tune like they are tuning for race gas. I will do some more digging around to see what is involved and the possiblity for our cars?

Hoosiers are insane man. I had the 335 on my twin screw cobra this past summer, and I could go WOT in 1st from a 20mph roll with a dead hook. She was making 600rwhp @ 20lbs too Don't get caught in the rain

We had a few threads about running e85,that stuff needs alot more to hit the same a/f than gas does and our cars are pretty maxed out with the setup we have now.

It would be nice to see a tuner make an e85 file for a stock pulley car though.

That stang sounds amazing!!

I run e85 in the m5, and have 3 fuel pumps and 1200cc injectors plus -10 feed and -8 return lines. It absolutely sucks azzz in winter. Takes forever to start and get running. Definitely recommend a pump map for the winter months.
