I talked to Corey over a year ago about tuning the car for E85 strictly to help it pass the tough VA emissions. with the big cams, and no secondaries I couldn't get the HC down low enough (it's way off, 140 HC on a 48 standard)

I also wanted to use an exhaust gas analyzer to make sure it would pass.

Corey definitely thought it could help.

from what I understand the ZR-1s will flow enough for 700 hp using normal gas so you might be able to have enough volume to tune a stock car on E85 without running too lean. (not go over 500 hp to be safe)

I'd feel safer with at least upgrading the pumps.

worth talking to corey again. too far for me to drive down to texas, so I was hoping to do a chip with Bob Hall's car which is built very similar to mine. but now that car is up here with me in VA.

Might be able to do a remote tune working with folks up here and going back and forth. it would likely take a few burns to get it right.
