E85 Tune

[FastOldGuy]

I just had my Shelby tuned to E85. Made 720hp and 600 TQ. I think I'm going to like :race gas: for 2.50 a gallon.http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y27/FastOldGuy/Shelby%20Mods/012-3.jpg

I think it's pretty funny. I mean, I understand the disadvantages of E85 over traditional gasoline (lower energy content per unit volume being a big one) as well as the arguments for economic reprecussions, particularly with government subsidies inflating the ethanol market, but overall it's a pretty strong answer to those that were wanting to reduce our foreign dependency on oil.

I'm indifferent on the matter myself. That being said, I can't think of anyone that would hate E85 for purely mechanical reasons.

Well yes I think E85 is great so far. It makes 658 on 93 octane [3.90 a gallon] it makes 712 on 93 octane plus Torko [3.90 +2.00 a gallon] and it made 720 on E85 3.09 a gallon at Krogers. Plus Krogers gives me a 70 cents a gallon discount for reward points. So right now I'm paying 2.39 a gallon for the power of a Torko tune which is 5.90 a gallon.

Here are some pics and the mod list

How do you like the handling? Everyone thinks the VR-4 is heavy but it handles decently. How bad (or good) is the Shelby?

Pretty sure that's everyone's opinion. :D I just wanted to hear what an actual owner thinks, especially since he's owned at least two heavy cars in his lifetime.

The pavement in his garage must be crying in pain.

I am a drag race guy and not a road course guy. Soild > IRS for drag racing. But the 2011 Shelby did very well against the Z06 and GS corvettes at VIR But my car is a 2008 and does not handle as well as a 2011 does.
