Anyone see how E85 affects these new engines (V6 and V8)??

Saw this in another section...not sure how official it is but apparantly E85 is tuned aggresively from the factory. We've seen custom tunes like this for the V6 for E85 that made good power results, but I don't recall seeing a factory Gas/E85 capable tune that made more power while on E85.

4.3 V6 Stock power: 285hp 305TQ. E85: 297HP 330TQ
5.3 V8 stock power: 355HP 383TQ. E85: 380HP 416TQ

So I'm thinking the 6.2 on E85 factory tune could see nearly 500HP 500TQ???

Wouldn't that be a hoot?...lol...I thought this E85 was supposed to be terrible....The gas blend stuff is a mystery to me...

Now that would be VERY interesting considering the the LS7 is a gen IV engine and theyre moving to gen V engines.

Yeah, that was wishful thinking on my part, for sure...lol....

Wiz, the latest in the Z/28 forum is the LS7 may be just a one year deal in the Z/28...The LS7 is over with for sure here pretty soon...

I'm sure they will keep making them, just as crate engines and not going into production cars.

I think youre correct on this

....Just a bump for an old thread I started...lol....

P.S. Merry Christmas!

WHen I get the 2016 or 2017 model, i will paint it ABM!
