All i have is a TM TB and Roto fab with a catback and think for the money i should try e85 and a tune next...see what i can get away with.

Would a dsx low side system be a better option with
Rotofab
103 tb
Ported blower and snout
Primary cat deletes
Trying to run e85
Or will the high side tap before it matter?
No pulley change

Pretty close to what I have when I added flex fuel. I now have an LT5 throttle body, rotofab, 180 degree thermostat and DSX flex fuel kit.

Made 632hp on E50.

I sub’d to your thread and it will likely push me to go ahead and tune soon. That sounds great to me, just have cold feet after going through a voodoo replacement and seeing the oil pump issues...but i do love me some corn!

Just had my 21 tuned with DSX flex fuel kit and my pump started to drop off at 70% ethanol. Tuner told me to keep the mix between 60-70% and I'm golden. Currently running E65 and the car runs hard.

Thanks for the advice.

I just finished my mods and was able to tune my car for E50 before running out of fuel... I can tell you the difference is night and day. These cars LOVE E... i also recommenced the FlexLink bluetooth kit... makes keeping an eye on the blend super easy.



The kit installed pretty easy, took a few hours, but you will need a tune. I used JRE's remote service for that.
