Safe HP/TQ on stock engine

[eca77]

I doubt it would make much of a difference, but here in Germany we can get 95 octane gas. What, if any, difference can that make in a stock car?

None, it is equal to our 93 essentially. Maybe even our 92.

Actually, our 100-102 octane is more what I was talking about (already "converted" it so to say).

Still not a lot there, you would have more benefits if it was increased octane based on higher Ethanol content.

I guess I will just have to get in touch with you when I get my car here in MY 2017-18. But, your tune is definitely going in my car.

So, any benefit to mixing up some E30 on a bone stock car- no mods, no tune, etc? If 93 is worth 30-40hp over 87 stock, can the stock car use the E30? I ask because there are a few E85 stations around now and it is cheap- 1.85/gal.

You need to be tuned in order to run E30. The car will give false lamda readings because the stoichiometric of the fuel needs to be changed.

So the stock tuning doesn't have enough range to keep the car from running lean, I guess? I wonder what the range is since some areas sell E15 now.

All pricing and information is listed out on my site.

E-tunes are configured for whatever setup you are currently running on your car.

Best bang for the buck investment on my EBM, thus far! Cheers mate! :clap2:

The stock turbo on pump gas is limited to the octane, not the turbo. So the most you can make on pump gas is around 330-335whp. Big turbo is about 400whp before you run into fuel issues.

Any turbo kit will support it. Personally, I will be going with the Vargas Stage 2 direct-fit turbo for my drag build. Looking to make a 10 second pass on stock block.

Sounds awesome. Where's the, "it's Adam, I bought an EB Mustang, these are my goals" thread??

Soon, waiting on some parts so I have some content. However, I will be working with Full-race on a prototype turbo kit instead of the VTT Stage 2.

Still going to use a stock housing turbo?

Nope. Not at first, but towards summer I will be.
