E85 for an E55 - Flex Fuel is so close you can taste it!!!
This is Dave from Eurocharged ATX in Round Rock, TX 
So! Fuel tank lids are getting very close, and we've been working on this test car for some time now. We finally ran it on the dyno today and I wanted to share some results.
These are the latest hits, back to back on a project we have going:
Car is running on 68% Ethanol at the moment, tomorrow we will make hits on 85%
Setup:
2005 E55
Stock Motor
Stock Heads
Stock Cams
Stock Trans (at the moment)
Fuel System:
2x Walbro 450cc in the factory baskets
Custom Fuel Lid for Passenger's side
-10AN from tank, through external FPR and Filter
Split factory rail with -6 inlet on each
Mods - FBO
American Racing Longtubes
90mm TB
178mm Crank
77mm S/C Pulley
650cc Injectors
Eurocharged ATX Flex Fuel

Subscribing for my crack fix... nice job on some nasty #s
Any cooling modifications?
I know e85 is tuner's paradise as you can advance timing a lot further than with regular gas without fear of detonation/knock... but damn...thats awesome progress!

I'm sure you know, but most people don't. You can still get knock with E85. Just a higher threshold.

SORRY EVERYONE! I've been very busy in the shop, and have a few other projects in the works
Everything is ready, except for the fuel tank lids - which are an essential piece of the puzzle.
If you haven't done it already, you're gonna need at least a -8 fuel line, and AEM 320's, or Walbro 450's to drop into the tank, also larger injectors will be needed.
I plan on offering a retrofit service on a core basis to trade out your stock pumps (baskets) for a set that's already installed and ready to drop in. Pricing wont be high, it will be very low, mostly to cover my costs.
C63 kits and E9x M3 kits are well underway and on a lot of high visibility cars. @c63nyc, @ds.wilk63, @itsjoshyscar507 to name a few
It really works great, and the M113k has a lot more potential since its boosted!
Thanks for your patience

Nothing yet, besides getting the test car back on the dyno. Still waiting on the lids. We can help you design a kit for vehicles with external pumps (CL/SL/S) if your have one of these.
There are a number of people who have already been doing what they can to get their fuel systems in order. Splitting the rail, running a new fuel line, slowly buying the other required items, etc. Just so when the lid is available they will be ready to rock!
Any questions please feel to give the shop a call 512-777-2799
Thanks
