I deff wont ever drive an hour for gas. lol.
I run 19.5* of timing currently on my pump gas tune and 20.5* I believe on my 100 octane tune. Not sure how much they cram in with E85, but is it worth $3500 to make another 50-60whp?
I know its there if I ever need more, but its alot to swallow.
Currently there are like 3-4 stations within a 30-40 mile radius of me. Its not super convenient,but its getting easier to get. If you would have asked me 2 years ago about this, I would have never considered it in the slightest
I heard directly from the mouth of a very well-known [internationally] and respected tuner that you can safely run 21psi on 93 octane on the ['11/'12] GT500. Don't ask me who because I don't want people trying to sully his name and reputation thinking they know better than he does.
While agree with those that say you should already be over 700, I’d suggest sending the blower and lower to 1320 Junkie Performance for porting and reap double rewards. Cooler charge temps and more power with less restriction.
I said this before and I’ll say it again, I think your fuel system is holding you back. My 13/14 injectors and dual BAP system was maxed out with pump fuel at about 680 whp; being you’re relatively close to me in PA, the air we breath is pretty similar. I put ID1000’s on the car when I got the blower ported and upgraded to a DD149 MAF and that put me at 720 wheel. My TB is now my only restriction at this point but drivability is more important to me then peak hp.

This is true as well. Hence why I havent jumped and made rash decisions yet. lolWell, I heard from a internationally known and respected tuner it was a waste to run higher boost on 93, since timing would be cut/more heat, so overall gains negligible. I did it anyway, then switched to E85.
It’s an frpp block. So it’s 8.1;1@biminiLX has made nearly 1000 rwhp on a ported trinity setup running corn and *i think* a KB 168 mono w/ XBA elbow. The TVS is very efficient for its size, but its still a roots blower. The physical properties of e85 help keep the CC temps cooler than running pump or race fuel. While you need more of it and $$$ on a return system with big ass injectors, the pay off is SOLID power gains and good CC temps.
Also, consider Twin Screw blowers like Whipple or KB. While the torqu hit isnt as a hard down low compared to a TVS, its very good mid to top range. I dont know about you, but I really want my car to rip at 4-7k.
What compression ratio did you go with when you built your short block? Im thinking of going with 9.5:1 or 10.0:1 up from my stock 8.4:1.

Do you remove your HE completely? I guess I could probably sell my HE for the price almost this killer chiller costs
The killer chiller debate rages on. Street use is fine I guess, but Id be pissed if you ran a killer chiller in front of me at the track.
The AC system typically generates water as it condenses on the evaporator. When it drips out the drain tube, it very likely could get on the track. Unless youre a sociopath,
With a supecharged and intercooled car, I cant think of ANY logical reason you would remove a larger HE or the entire HE, period. Id pray that you never have any debris strikes on your AC condenser either if you delete the HE.
OR
You run a more efficient, less heat generating supercharger and an ice tank like a normal person.
I think in my experience, a better alternative to the killer chiller would be a bigger coolant tank in the trunk and addition of ice. Even without ice in the tank, the higher volume of the coolant would have a more efficient level of heat absorption and would take far longer to heat soak. That way even without ice you’ll be able to pull more heat out of the system effectively bringing the charge temps closer to ambient and then when you add ice, it’ll actually chill the charge temps rather then just absorb some of the heat.
I still think that a port is your best option. If you can reconcile with Jay, he is the best in the business, but if you can’t get past his sarcasm (which is usually what people misinterpret as him being just a dick) he’s a great dude and really good at what he does. That’s your business, Jay is a friend of mine, but I an understand where you're coming from if you feel like someone disrespected you, you gotta do what you gotta do. If you can find someone else in business with a good reputation for porting these things, the difference is night and day.
