I was at osw two weeks ago... got a pair of new nitto nto5 tires for it and everything. Couldnt get better than a 2.0 60ft. Best run was 12.3 its a 1ss A8. Their track prep is beyond aweful. You should come do a test and tune day down here at PBIR. Love to get a couple camaros to go terrorize these mustangs all over the place!!!

It depends when you go to...for test and tune nights it isn't all that great, but if they got a big race the next day it is usually decent.

Went to the track today and got in a few runs, because thats personally how I like to gauge the effectiveness of a mod VS the dyno. Only did three runs but every one was a consistent 12.1xxx. My previous best was a 12.35 on a drag radial only, so just E85 picked me up an extra 2 tenths as well as 3MPH in the quarter. Definitely one of the most cost effective mods ive done! If I can get the launch down with this 6 speed I think ill easily see an 11.9. My 60ft was a pretty mediocre 1.98 and it still ran pretty good. Special thanks to Tim who is very responsive in answering any of my questions, and tweaking the tune until it was perfect for my car. Will definitely do business with EFI Tuning in the Future.
Awesome, way to represent the M6 SS! I want to do E85 also in the spring. Added 3 MPH, holy crap. If E85 does that for me I will be trapping over 121 mph. It should makes 11s easier for me. You will get there wih a better launch.

Like you I am struggling a bit with my DRs, NT555Rs with 1.97 something 60' my best so far. On my 5th gen 1LE I have seen some mid 1.7s on 305x18 NT555Rs. I had a couple of 1.93s in '16 SS on the runflats. They seem to launch pretty good for an all street tire at least sometimes for me. Also my DRs are 305x20 and 1 inch higher than the rear runflats. Bad decision by me. I think the M6 would benefit from more gear.

How much ethanol is in E85? All our gas up here in CDN has up to 10% methanol in it expect Chevron 94 which has none.

Thanks!! Yeah I dont know what it is, im thinking that I just might have to do slicks, which is what they recommend for a manual car anyways. I went with the radials so that I could drive to and from the track on the same tire. Im thinking about trying more of a burnout, usually I just clean off the tires and dont really put any heat into them.

Looking at the sensor reading in HP Tuners its reading about 76%...I need to buy one of those testers to maybe get a better idea.

That sensor is more accurate than any cheap tester you can buy. It sends a frequency reading back to the ECM and is very accurate against what I've tested. I have the Kent Moore tester too. The e85 camaros I've done have seen .2 easy in the 1/8 mile and usually pick up 30-40 hp at the tires. E85 on these cars is hands down one of the best mods when it comes to bang for the buck.

Any experience with running e98 in them?

No, we have only used pump e85 from our local Kroger.

Oh i wasnt saying the sensor wasnt accurate, I just want to have a little redundancy. I know just because it says E85 on the pump, that doesn't always mean you're getting that. How is it sending a frequency reading with a DC power supply?
