Stock Turbo E85 Numbers?

I don't...old v8 muscle car logic "oh that 4 cylinder will never beat a v8" is ignorant and I love making muscle car guys and diesel guys look stupid

So Carb is still kicking ass, simple mechanics to a science..you got to respect that.

I'll just give you one example for starters but... modern day Corvette Zo6s makes 500hp and get over 20mpg... Old 70 Chevelle 454SS would be lucky to get 10mpg

How do you even come up with any connection or comparison of an safc and map clamp to dsp and then come up with this statement saying carb being better than fi,... really lol?

Those are from 2009 and that's how long it took ...major props... but carb is still running faster.for mpg sure FI is better but all out drag Carb is in the lead. I'm sure FI can do it,just not in the right hands yet!
Now my statement with safc map clamp to dsp or any other for stock turbo.
The piggybacks still put down just as good if not more power, and have the fastest et and trap.
Not saying a dsp or sct can't do it, just hasn't been in the right hands yet!
I'm saying when set up right there is no difference at all, different strokes .
Now at higher hp levels say above 500hp, yeah I would make a switch.

Are you kidding me man? Do a search on ANY World Cup Finals at M.I.R and watch all of those super fast FI cars!!

You can still write a term paper using a type writer, but that's not the most fastest and easiest way right? Nobody's saying you can't go fast using a SAFC, but with today's flash tuners, why would you?

Another thing, I think Nick's stock turbo record has stood so long because up until about a year ago, nobody really gave two shits about breaking it!! SRT's were trending towards big turbo's but now seem to be trending back towards stock turbos?

Why? I believe it's because these cars are going to their 4th and sometimes 5th owners. Those owners are young and broke! Now this is my opinion! It's not a fact.

Nearly every pos piggy back tuned car is/was/ and forever will be a stumbling, erratic, temperamental heap with the worse possible drivability--->Which also describes pretty much ANYTHING with a carburetor. Which also explains why EVERY major Carburetor manufacture, Holley, Demon, Edelbrock, MSD, produce Stand alone EFI replacements, so the carbs can be PITCHED. This is because so many of their customers are used to the near perfect drivability of their EFI daily drivers and refuse to compromise.

Let me be very clear, running a pos piggy back required abandoning any hopes of having the stock tune's drivability. A proper E85 calibration will give great power AND provide completely stock drivability.

BTW,,,Dynos sheet are fun to talk about, but WOT is by far the LEAST form validation of a proper tune or tuning process.

My " driveability" is perfect no stumbling like you say, I can post a video if you like 750 injectors and E-85 drives better than stock. People don't know how to dial in Ltft,Stft It's easy, can show anyone if they need help.

Now when it comes to drag racing, It's only wot they care about..
I haven't been keeping track of the carb vs the FI battle, so it looks like as of 2009 I am now wrong.
Nothing stays the same forever..

Well since you're stuck back in 2006 I guess we can't blame you for not knowing what happened in 2009

a FI V8 with boost = more POWA then FI I4 with Boost.. more torque too. and lets face it, nothing beats a beefed up detroit V8 idle. mmmmm lopey.

^ trooFF. I bought my first SRT when i was 18. Now, i see them left and right around my town! Of coarse it's young, obnoxious owners THE MAJORITY of the time. That is why there is a speculation of SRT owners being *douche bags* :/

Throw a set of 1200ccs on pump gas and let us know how the safc works for u then lol.. 750Cc on e85 isnt that much correction on safc
