Long time without an update. In the spring when the weather warmed up my power had fallen to 430-440s on 93 octane. I've since moved to Houston, TX and there is E85 down here, WOO! I ordered and installed a buschur double pumper and now run E85 daily. My goal was to break 500hp on the FP Black and E85, stock motor, stock head. I'm still in the process of tuning in but here is where I am as of yesterday. SO CLOSE!

Maybe because meth gives me a little of an edge but I thought E85 was comparable to meth

. Whats with the 6000-6500rpm range? My chart looks identical to yours except for this range. I hit 500WHP at 6500 and my max of 508 at around 6700. Im also at 35psi so thats probably why. Either way good job at only 30psi

Why does the power fall off so drastically at 7000 RPM's?

I don't think kevin was done with the tune at the time, just sharing where he was.

OK, I was just wondering, especially with a FP upgrade it should hold power fine till at least 8K.

Glad it could help.

Regarding the post about the power falling off. Chris is correct.. I've yet to finish the tune.

Looking at that graph got me thinking, so I went into the settings of Virtual Dyno and the TPS filter was set at 80. The reason the graph is falling off so hard is because it picked up where I left off. If I remember correctly the pull was only to 7000.
