There are a white & black pair hanging in the break room at work. I have thought they'd probably make Elvis go faster since they match the paint scheme. :-) God Bless, Marc

There are things I'm not ready to reveal on-line yet. But trust me, I will tell all as soon as it is appropriate. Plus I won't discuss it in this thread but in the project thread.
Please don't speculate about things you don't know. All I said above is true and as much as I will say in this thread.

Have you considered running E85? What size injectors are you running?

Why would I run E85 in a car that is not designed for it? And in case you could not read my posts from above, I will NOT be answering specific questions about the system yet.

Your car is designed for it. Almost any car made after 1980 can support E85. All you need is larger fuel injectors and a tune. If you are boosting your car I would hope you get both...

Just because it CAN support it doesn't mean it has the proper fuel lines to sustain it over time. Corrosion sucks.

That is not true. I was a GM tech all through the late 70-2000 and there were lots of trouble with other fuels then gasoline if ran in GM cars/trucks. If E85 was out like now in 1980-1985 there would have been alot more carbs.,fuel tanks,fuel lines,fuel pumps replaced then there were done back then. Cars/trucks that were using gas a haul ?[spelling] back then were not happy...

Totally off the subject Mike, but that intercooler looks great in your lower front grille. The vertical ends look a bit like vampire fangs. :-) Hope it all goes right for you soon. God Bless, Marc
