So here is where the rubber meets the road. Knowing your gas mileage sucks, if you had a do over, would you still go the E85 route?

I DEFINITELY would!

I have no e85 regrets. If i were doing it again, there'd be no hi ram or big LLSR. This car is a toy as i have a daily driver so none of it really matters for practicality.

Yes sir, totally understand!

Foot, yep that's me, bro. Must be in good company. LOL!

You're right, though, probably should skip meth and go E85 now instead of later and less expensive in the long run if I plan to do it anyway (which I do).

Would really dig your Forgelines but rims are not on the radar until I am done with the motor. Besides, I have to look forward to something...

Camaro goes to the shop tomorrow for the 15" conversion install, new wheels/tires, ProCharger oil change, etc.

Had the black Carlyle calipers painted inferno orange to match the fronts.

theres no regrets in the e85 route with a flexfuel sensor that adjusts. I can run 91 or e85 without touching a thing. I get mid twenties on 91 and like <10mpg on e85

Dropped the car off today and snapped a few pics.

Another vote for e85, I get between 15 and 19 on e85 but thats mix city and interstate, I have the dsx flex sensor so it adjust my timing accordingly, but it's nite and day difference between how the car runs on e85 vs 91

Moreair1 · 10-04-2017, 07:25 PM

Biggfoot those are some killer rims man, I'm betting you will love those 15s and hopefully you will make it to the track betting you will be putting down some awesome times

Taylortoons · 10-04-2017, 07:44 PM

That is some serious rubber on those rear tires. You sure all that fits under the fenders?

Thanks! Think I will like them too! Probably will be early 2018 before I get to try out the new mods at the track.

Haven't seen the car yet but I got an email from G-Force stating that the rear wheels/tires fit perfectly! No spacers or any adjustments needed!!
