Huh, I didn't realize the ECU would max out like that but I guess I never considered anything over 500-700hp lol.

I get the fueling thing just a waste of money, same shaving weight off the truck. you could lose weight yourself assuming your not already holocaust skinny (Happy 76th anniversary of Aushwitz being freed) .

I agree 29s would look silly, but you could do a massive 4" cutout right off the downpipe I have a 4" QTP on my parts shelf.

I don't think I personally would throw more timing at it unless I wanted to swap a motor.

-yep

-dont fat shame me, i am in peak physical driving condition

- wheels+tires= $$$, on one hand i do want to go faster so a drag radial would help alot, but my heart wants bigger wheels which best case scenario will definitely not help me go faster. if my stock wheels were in good condition id order drag radials to throw on @$1200 and buy some diff wheels and tires later. but pretty much the entire barrel on all my wheels the cladding has separated and ive pealed it out, the chrome on the outside is stained as hell with brake dust and scratches, some oxidation that was forming between the cladding and the wheels most of it i have cleaned but pretty much either way i need some new wheels before i replace the tires - which i need tires now cause these are goin bald

- timing im running pretty low considering its on e85, even with the iat temps going up most people were saying dont even start pulling timing till 180* i was like nah im good. so now that temps are staying down i may add a little into the timing vs iat table so that it only adds it if the temps are low.


using something like this http://www.wallaceracing.com/etcalc.php just to gauge where im at, 136+ traps should run well into the 9s but i gotta get it all moving faster to the 60'

Plus-size models are all the rage now anyway.

I think a good option for your wheels and tire desires is to just DONK THAT ***** FAHQER OUT! It will give you the big rimz you want and you can buy cheap tires but still be considered fast.

The IAT and timing make sense, I know my goal with the blower was always to keep IAT under 160* otherwise Atomic would pull considerable timing. Which is clearly what kept the 4.8 alive so long ta 18lbs
