e-85 or 93
Im getting my car tuned on the dyno next week. I bought stainlessworks long tube headers and x-pipe. Also bought a LMR cold air. My question is to tune .with e-85 or 93 and has anyone tried e-85 with good results.

I went through the thread earlier and I don't think there is much difference. However, I have been told that Mobil and Sunoco offer the best quality 93-octane and Cheveron/Texaco add Techron to the gas which will affect the tune.

Thanks guys. I think im going to run 93. I was just looking to get a little extra hp. I bought a lmr cai and stainlessworks complete exhaust, it should be here this week.

i am thinking about trying a e85 tune,,, on a very hot humid day at wot i data logged a few degrees of knock retard

Manual explains proper gas to use and gas not to use
|
None of the engines on the Camaro are e85 compatible. Ethanol fuel will eat through some materials in an engine/fuel system not designed to run high concentrations of it. DO NOT use e85 unless the manufacturer says its ok.
|
I've looked around here in San Diego and haven't seen any gas over 91 octane :( Still researching though...
|
Mill the heads to run 12-1 compression and run e85:headbang:
|
I wouldn't. The engine has to be specifically built to run e85, you would def do damage

How does Techron affect the tune? This is confusing as Chevron is a Top Tier gas recommended by GM. If there is better 93 to run in it I would like that to be substantiated. Thanks |
