    Who is the expert in LT1 E85 Race tune for stock engine?

    Hey guys,

    We have a stock LT1 running E85 and looking for some help on our tune. We have been working on it for some time with a few tuners but just want to make sure we were not missing something.

    Who is the best at tunes for racing applications? I have log files I can send for remote help. Willing to pay.

    Thanks!!

    Thanks Ben I will email you.

    regorih, thats because you have not done the testing with our setup. E85 made more power than race gas and lowered our EGT's 150F. So for us it is worth it. Oh and its not an investment because E85 is way cheaper than race fuel. So it's actually cheaper. All we had to do was add a flex fuel sensor and make sure all our fuel system was E compatible. Not a big deal. We do lose range but we can blend non E for better range when we need it.

    Thanks

    Can you clarify what do you mean by stock? Im thinking stock as it left the factory or do you mean stock but with headers, ported msd intake, 102mm tb, cold air kit with a velocity stack ?

    I'm tuning a car right now for the exact same thing and same mods. There are many of us that can tune for you. Ben chimed in first and has plenty of experience. Reach out to him for sure if you want someone to verify your work.
