The older I get the more I am adopting a "set it and forget it" mentality. I realize ME-R is user adjustable but I just want to use it because I own it. I have an old version, probably from around 2003.
I am attracted to E85 for the octane benefit. My car is for pleasure driving only so MPG means virtually nothing to me. If anyone could advise me on how to proceed I would appreciate the help. Here is my basic (old school) combo:
Stock longblock with upgraded valvesprings
160° thermostat
TA-54 turbo
72 lb Siemens injectors
Walbro 340 with hot wire
ME-R mafless chip
Solid inlet pipe
SMC alky kit, non-progressive (plan on deleting this if E85 works out)
3200 stall LU converter
Stretch IC, stock location
28" tall rear tires
Scanmaster
DirectScan
assorted gauges (knock sensor, oil, fuel pressure, boost)
This will be a street car but I would like it to pull hard like a mid-elevens car. It will never see the track again. The less I have to buy the better but I know there will be some expense. I appreciate any help and advice.
