![]() I down pulleyed down and switched to e85 netting almost 100hp and like 80+ tq.
Number 1 Reason to go E85 = 91 octane is almost 3 Bucks a gallon here, E85 roughly 110 Octane is 2.09 |

![]() this is a convo which it would really help to have a clue about turbos/supercharger.

![]() If you have a supercharger you want to switch to a bigger crankshaft pulley to spin the supercharger belt faster. If you are naturally aspirated, you want an underdrive pulley to reduce the parasitic power loss.

![]() Thats about the extent of my knowledge...
![]() I know that Kenny is dead wrong about underdrive pulleys bringing 30HP... I wish. ![]()

![]() Wrong, it has less actually, but has a much higher octane rating (105 octane) So you can run higher boost levels, or compression ratios without detonation. You actually have to run 20-35% more e85 through the engine, than gasoline to produce the same power.
