We got our pump gas map completed on the long term 350Z Vert project. VERY impressive numbers for a VQ35 vehicle on 93 octane! Make sure to check out the video below.

Here's the dyno from the vid. I put it here since you are prolly blocked from photobucket and such.

Looks like its time to turn up the boost Rich!
And if you overlay the curves, I'd love to see it.
Thanks for being the bold one to blaze the trail!

Rumor has it that the 93 octane is being drained right now, and then the C16 goes in!
It's a good day to do some race gas tuning...

Went down that road. E85 isn't that easy to find in my part of the north...

C16 is that much easier to find? for the price of 12gallons of C16, you could buy a 55gal drum of E85 and keep it stored.
Tuning my previous build on C16 was probably the biggest waste of money with 20/20 hindsight.

It is easier to find. Not against E85, but think I'd need to upgrade injectors/fuel pump. And won't use either very often...
