For N/A? Yes. But if your panning a FI build then you'll already have your fuel system in place

Ok. Just gtr injectors and fuel pump? I still plan on doing the high rev build. I just dont want to go back and buy more parts rather have it in place. Thats why i thought of doing the id 750 and cjm stage 1.

If your going to stay N/A and do a full build with ethanol, then raise your compression ratio as well to take better advantage of the ethanol.
I think if 1slowz had raised his c/r and did ethanol he might have come very close or breached 400whp

Which is exactly why my engine build is planned around 14:1 compression - that alone should provide a healthy torque increase and the cams will shift the torque up the rev-range and improve HP

uprev vs ecutek on e85... i would have thought you would be able to make gains with uprev too. however, as syno tested it on his and he lost power. i got in contact with a tuner here in atlanta that claims i would make power even with uprev.

Im pretty sure I remember seen a guy on here running with E85 and showed gain which was with Uprev last year.
There is an issue somewhere in the tuning because Uprev can advance it to 32 at high load/RPM Last edited by Megan370z; 09-21-2015 at 08:33 AM. |

Screw UpRev and their garbage software. I bought their dealer package as well and it's the biggest pile of crap you can imagine. I won't disgrace my Z with that ****, lol. |
