I am running a Magnuson 2300 with 80mm pulley, NW 103mm tb, and a Roto-Fab Big Gulp. At my altitude, I see 11.5 psi of boost. I am running E85 out of the pump from Kum and Go which actually 66% ethanol. My low side is dropping on a long pull. I will be fixing that with a JMS.
If I were near sea level there is no way that I could run E66 with my mods.

So here's where i got confused. I also assumed it would be my low side but the JMS voltage booster is doing it's job well. My low side pressure never waivers from 73psi, but as soon as I get over E60, like E65 for instance, my high side pressure will nose dive from 2900psi down to around 1200-1500. Keep it under 60% and it will maintain 2900psi no problem. Luckily I've got a Banks Data Monster and watch/log everything 24/7 so it was easy for me to see that it didn't like it. I also hooked up my HPtuners and logged pulse width and it showed similar poor results above 60%. BUT, every car is different, these are only my results.
