I was missing the drain line as well. I called and they sent it out within a couple of days.

the engine

Oh, I meant engine oil, not the SC oil. Unless that's what you meant, too.

Prochargertech meant sc oil, stick with PC sells for that. There is nothing wrong with running a 20-50 weight in the 5.0 engine. 30-40 weight is optimal for running the car hard and with a sc. I like Amsoil 0w40 as it meets new standard certifications and was designed for E85 in mind and is a true grade 4 oil.

#1) Make sure belt isn't rubbing against the edge of ANY pulley.

#2) Sometimes the belt gets debris stuck to it, and causes plenty of sounds

#3) After there is a decent amount of miles on the belt, its a good idea to re-tension it, to make sure the tensioner isn't moving excessively.

Just wanted to update. Spraying a bit of water on the belt thread yesterday seemed to do this trick. Started up this morning and no noises from the belt. :hail:

Well my car goes in for a tune revision late next week to see if we can't eliminate the surging with the IMRC intact. I'll let everyone know how it goes.

Nice. I hope it works out. My fuel system to run E85 will be here Friday as well as a 4.50" pulley. Hoping to have it all dialed in next week.

I hope you post pics/info on the fuel system...Not much info about the E85 systems that exist today.

Me too, man. I'm having some hot cranking / starting / idle issues on E85 tuning at the moment, so I just switched back to my 11-14 manifold for a little bit to test it and log it. It wasn't the manifold apparently, so I'm about to switch it back to the 15 again.

Lund got most of the surging out of my stock manifold gas tune last revision. The rest was really just from the surge valve opening / shutting at the transition repeatedly. Much better than where it started at.

If I could just talk Lund into tuning this E85 with BAP / ID1000 man I'd be completely set right now.

He'd love to see how my car is ADDING timing at redline with 19 degrees already on it. I was lucky to see 12.5 on pump gas.

I have heard people say when they switched to E85, they had starting issues.

I definitely do.

Also curious about how you do with the new fuel system.

I'm also getting a revised catch can from UPR. Hopefully it does a better job than the one I have now. Hard to gauge how much I'm sucking into the motor but it's more than 0.

That is the hardest part to an E85 tune.
Since E85 doesn't like the "light off" on a cold motor.
Which is why most tuners don't want to touch it.

However with a little tweaking it can be perfect.
Takes a lot of fuel to get them to light when cold.

Whats interesting is it has no problem firing up cold (well, it's summer, but after being parked for several hours i mean).. once it's warmed up though, it's hit or miss whether if will fire up and if it does, whether it will get to idle and stay there or not. Once it's running its usually ok but it will idle down to about 500rpm and i have to watch it really close. It's only stalled at a light once but once is plenty wben you dont know if its going to crank back up or not. Im sure its tuneable but i need a revision to try it. Still waiting for that though.

I'd rather take a few cranks to start than dump in a bunch of E85 to get it to start.
