What vacuum source did you guys use? I put a vacuum manifold connected to the top vacuum source of the intake manifold next to the pcv line for my bov and boost gauge.

I'm going off the brake booster currently. Everyone says purge valve underneath or where you are is the best location for vac source. Can you share a picture please and what type/size fittings you used?

What are guys running the 4854 on Flex-Fuel putting down? Anyone know what I could expect going from 10 PSI on 93 to 12/13 (if safe and within efficiency range?) PSI on e85? And would the curve of my powerband change at all, or just increase?

Is this normal ? There's oil on my skid plate

Ronnie/Jessie/Lee,

I have the base kit 4854 with a 4 bolt flange. What would it take to upgrade to a GTX2863 or 2867? Or is there a BB Precision that is comparable that I could get out the door cheaper for?

On 12psi and vp e85 we squeezed out just over 400hp but I don't think the dyno was righ

We've done slightly over 400 here and that's about it. They are rated 385 by PTE and their ratings are typically under rated a bit.

Man, that's promising to hear. Even if it were reading high that still exceeds my expectations for what I would have expected. I am debating between:
-Flex Fuel/550-700cc Injectors or just getting a GTX series and staying on pump.

GTX2867R Dyno

Ya I love it. Pulls good and as long as u have a e85 station near u it's not too bad. I only get like 17 to 20 mpg now tho

I've resisted the urge and stayed on my 7 PSI map for the past two weeks and averaged 19 on pump gas. No leaks and I'm not tuned all that rich. I dunno.

Amputechture · 10-28-2016, 10:31 PM

Thanks Jesse, do you happen to remember the boost pressure and ethanol content?

Are you sure you're not running rich or are you going into boost frequently?
