e85 or headers

[Lantanafrs2]

I don't think I would keep the car if I couldn't use e85. I've got ofh, powerblocks and e85 tune. Fast enough for south Florida bullshit. Bought header used so I figure I got 30 horse and nice torque curve for 1100 bucks. Not bad

Would I be satisfied going back to 91 with headers? Hoping for similar top end, and more mid range torque.

Why not just throw some headers on there and keep your e85 tune? Then get a flex fuel kit and tune for the oft from Wayno?

in answer to your question. You will like 91 with headers better than stock with e85 though. I'm on the 91 stage 2 ots tune right now and it's better or at least as good as the e85 stage 2 using stock headers.

you do know that the OFT stage 2 tune for e85 is meant to have aftermarket headers right? it's just that e85 gives enough head room to avoid knock with the advanced timing even with stock headers.

You could easily just switch back and forth from the stage 2 93 tune and the stage 2 e85 tune without going ecutek...

Just go with Wayno's flex fuel tune or get both the individual tunes. They are all for the OFT I think he charges 225 for the flex tune for oft and 45 each for the 93 and e85 individual tunes.

Imo uel and e85 is much smoother than stock header with e85. I may get catback just to overcome mechanical noise from under hood.
