Why wouldn't it?
E85 is basically race gas... AND the fact the 5.0 with that E85 tune in question had tires too.
The argument of picking up 1.5 seconds with a tire is stupid.
Explain this.
My 07 GT makes 407 RWHP, weighs 3800+ lbs with me in it. It's an Auto, non-intercooled Centri blown car, Stock Headers, stock suspension, 3.31 gears, and crappy goodyear eagle F1 tires. It ran consistent 12.2-12.3 @ 113. So, with the logic of a "tire dropping 1.5 seconds, since my 07 already has an O/R pipe" my GT should be running 10's right?
I don't think so....
A lot of people need more track time before they start throwing insane estimates on time and what a mod will do. At most, a Camaro with an O/R Pipe, and a tire without a tune will run 12.1-12.2 @ 114-115 in great weather with a great driver. It will not run mid 11's @ 117-118 with only those two modifications.
