Load on the motor
and?
Tom in CT (forget his screen name) with his 3900lb GT500 just went 8s on E85. Weight isnt going to change anything. I dont know why your making excuses for something you havent really researched or tried?

I can make the dyno read any number I want. 4400lb on a dyno doen't me anything, its not real world. Show me a time slip from the 1320.My buddy Tony Alm won KOTS last year. 4200+ lbs with him in it. 38-40 psi of boost on a 5.4 and E85. With a passenger he is over 4400 LBS.
Made 1139 and 1138 RWHP back to back in Bolwing Green.

I'm not making any excuses, Weight and aero dynamics have plenty to do with racing. It takes torque to get the weight moving, not HP. If my Lightning set up was in a 3600 lb car it would run 8's too.and?

The dyno in question just happened to be at Holly Performance. It was used to judge KOTS and the numbers were not skewed in any way.I can make the dyno read any number I want. 4400lb on a dyno doen't me anything, its not real world. Show me a time slip from the 1320.
I haven't seen a 4400lb truck running E85 truck put down the numbers I do, I'm not talking dyno numbers, and my 4400lbs is without driver so add another 185
Thats awesome. And I get your point.The dyno in question just happened to be at Holly Performance. It was used to judge KOTS and the numbers were not skewed in any way.
He has gone 9.4's @ over 155 MPH with the factory 6 speed shifting gears!!!!!
I give up. You just don't get it and never will.
Keep paying for your expensive C16 and go slower.

I have my numbers (real numbers from the 1320, not some inflated dyno numbers) to back my statements up. You keep posting other peoples rides, What about your ride? Are you just another keyboard racer? If your going to talk racing then you better be a racer. Not just another internet racer.
am I a racer?? did you see my sig???????????
****ing sig material!!!!!!!!!! :beer:
bwahahaha
C16 is $17.00 a gallon down here in South Fl.C16 is more like $14/gal so it's some extreme savings
Does anyone in this thread have any apples to apples comparisons?
Posting vids of big motors with huge twin turbos and articles to KOTS prove nothing. Also people basing their performance gains off of their butt dynos or what their buddys brother ran. I want to see back to back (before and after) dyno pulls and 1320 runs in a car or truck that is identical with the exception of the fuel (C16 to E85) and timing adjustments in the tune to take advantage of the available octane and/or knock inhibitors.
You guys have to search....too much info out there
Jakes first E85 pass - YouTube
Ive since made 8 more whp on 26* and a few more tq
Imagine what it would have done with C16 instead of the VP109 and E85. Still apples to oranges......
