It started off looking like this....



This was the donor car, wrecked 99 Trans Am. The guy said he was driving it in the rain with the cruise control on, hit some standing water at 70mph and spun it around a few times while playing pinball with the retaining walls! Oh, and my SOM WS6 parked across the street!


And that is exactly why you don't put cruise control on in rain or snow

You did a great job restoring her tho! Looks badass!

What kind of IATs are you showing? Did you dyno at all?

Wasn't dyno'd. It is a chore to get dyno time on an AWD dyno. Car has been 12.60's with mostly pump gas (some 100 octane unleaded was in the tank, but not enough to matter). Running a ZZP intercooler and Snow meth injection, so IAT's were just above ambient. I have no clue what the IAT's would be with a stock intercooler. If MHI doesn't get off their asses and release their upgraded turbo, I'll end up buying a Turbobay unit for the '17 Camaro, and I'll try running it with the stock intercooler first.

It already has the ethanol content sensor on the car, and the tables enabled. We just need to get the tune dialed in for E-85, then we will see some mid 11's if we can keep it fueled!

The E85 is a game changer. Wish it was available in Canada...

Turbobay is the only one I would consider for a modified stock turbo. Best bang for the buck out there! If a guy wanted a bolt on bigger turbo, the ZZP ZFR setup would be my next choice, but I'd hold out for them to do a 7163 version.

I just bought a Turbobay turbo, a "special" one

Is that in the drop down box options? "A special one"?

I found this on a random Canadian Dodge truck forum while searching for E-85 in Canada...

It's actually now carried by FT86 Motorsports in Limoges, ON (25 minutes out of Ottawa). They're supposed to be moving to a more central Ottawa location soon but it's worth the trip for the powerrrr. They're matching the prices for regular fuel. It's actually cheaper than MacEwen was right now. If I remember right, they're willing to sell barrels too if anyone wants to supply/store it elsewhere.

Remember, with the ethanol content sensor, and appropriate tuning, you don't need to run 100% E-85. You can buy it by the 5 gallon pail from VP Racing Fuel C85, but it's $15 per gallon!!! You can mix half a tank of 93 and half E-85 and let the sensor figure it out!

Cool! Good to know! Now if I was only closer to Ottawa.

I know Corner Carver is close by there....
