I believe you took my last post the wrong way. I am not shooting to make 800whp or 700whp. The comment about building a motor was if I ever need to with all intentions of the SBE holding up for a long time which I believe it will on 8psi with E85. Not trying to set the world on fire. Fwiw my prior posts were not in regards to how you did things, they were directed towards Tjay.. he was looking to make the necessary changes to the fuel system to support the power he wants to make without tearing into the motor. He mentioned that he don't want to go above 650whp. I was theoretically posting solutions and talking about my plan of attack at the same time. Again, I just want to run low boost and E85. I believe E85 is better for the LT1 due to it's cooler burn rate and resistance to detonation over 93. So If I have to spend a little more money to run it then so be it....It should help the engine live. I was just saying for my goals, I don't need a cam. LPE big bore and LT4 injectors should cover my needs. I wasn't implying a cam was the wrong choice. If I was going for big power I would do ported heads/cam/pistons/rods/studs and probably just pony up for the full LPE fuel system. I think your build is solid...wasn't implying otherwise.

Heads/Cam would come into play if I was trying to go over 700. I would definitely shoot for the most power on motor and use less boost. That is the great thing about e85, it basically allows the same thing. I agree about putting power to the ground. No point in making more until you can use what you got.

Above 600whp, I wanted pistons so that means cam, pistons and fuel all together. I was also doing some appearance mods at the same time...so I did get to save pretty considerably on labor. In fact, doing the work together pretty much meant I got the pistons for free (labor savings offset price for pistons). Once I added the cam, I was over 700whp on 8psi with straight pump e85. I think that is actually the most reasonable setup because there are no worries about anything from a fuel perspective (e85 or 93)...it is about all you can handle in the street and it is a blast. That is 830hp to the crank...how sick is that? On 10 psi, it added about 30whp and at 12 psi, it was another 30whp. We know that if we were out for a dyno number, we could have easily added another degree of timing on mine and got 780 or so...but it just isn’t worth it. The important thing here was, I could go to 12 psi with absolutely no concerns running pump e85. That was gonna be beautiful and I suspect enough to run into the 9’s with a vert. I got the pulley for 14-15psi, but I had belt slipping...combined with tires spinning as the weather broke...out of time. I think that I will probably just add alky over the winter so that I can use it in my 12 psi setup...not for more power, but for more cooling/safety. Then I will go ahead and have a track tune where we will run into the 800’s with nothing but swapping a tune. Whipple cars definitely look good on a dyno. Looking forward to your results.
