Default Dyno videos e85 sc300 day. Weak numbers?

Hey guys just got my car done tuning at battleground in Atlanta. Great people! Just thinking my numbers are really weak for my setup, below is a video. My last setup was mapecu2 with a masterpower t70 and a ar.96 #" downpipe 2 1/2 exhaust, 2 1/2 inch intercooler piping with 1000cc precision e85 on 27 psi made 619 rwhp and 532 rwtq. Weird i made more power with a milder setup.

My basic setup now is stock unopened 2jzgte, AEM v2 with all sensors, turbonetics hp72 (f1-65 wheel) ar. 70 divided housing, mc r154 trans, south bend custom clutch setup, full e85 fuel system, titan rail, dual wallys, 1600 cc bosch injectors, 3" exhaust, 3" intercooler piping. Car made 575 rwhp and 552 rwtq at 29 psi. He also was conservative on the timing and i believe the car was tuned to 11.5 afr's. Let me know what you think guys, he was saying I should get a bigger hotside which i agreed on, probably going with a precision 6766 and cams of course. Enjoy and lmk your opinion guys.

I believe e85 should be tuned to 13s afr. Im sure once it gets leaned out youll gain more power.

yes, you should be well into the 600s/700 with 29psi!

The .70 divided rear housing is killing you.
I'll bet the manifold is glowing red after 1 pull on the dyno?


I'm on a 74mm with a 1.25 divided and make about 720 at 21 psi on E-85

I would not run 11.5 on pump let alone e-85 as thats quite rich on the corn, I have found the best reliable power to be 11.7-12.0 on pump.

11.5 afr's on a dyno is a great target # for air fuels as a dyno typically does not replicate real world driving afr's and as such tuning to the optimal ragged edge on a dyno is nothing more than disastrous, for the street with lower IAT's from real air and true fresh air ingestion and a true engine loading.

well said , well said and to add to that , if you are still on stock pistons , toyota pistons love to be on the richer side of the spectrum.. when alpha tunes on pump gas and its well into the 500's , he always tunes low into the 11's for safety.. he always preached to me , why scarifice holding your motor together for maybe a additional 20 ish more hp ..

my original 1997 block still going strong after 5+ yrs of boosting so alpha must know what hes talking about

It's all about the timing, which can be increased into the high 20-30 degree range on E85, that is where you make the power.

People who tune or work at a dyno know that you must always tune the car rich or "safe" so when you get on the street the load change doesn't lean the AFR out too much.

Most Dyno's have a load-brake setup so you can simulate hill load, constatnt load, etc.

I have to agree with that. I would rather dependability and lose power for a few horses. My car was tuned at the same place with some similar mods. My afr is at 10.7 to 11.2 while in boost at either level, low or high. I think Batlground did an awesome job. My car has had zero problems with their tune... I give them two thumbs up.

I've always liked a 10.8 AFR with 15-18 degrees on 93 octane.

Good power, nice torque ramping, and most importantly great reliability!

Wow you guys like it on the rich side nothing wrong with being safe though, I have run all of my evo's on 12.0 afr as well as my supra all of which were on pump 93 however I never kept the car so I can't say how they lasted but they always made great whp on pump and either ran low 11's (evo) or high tens (supra) in the 1/4 mile.
All of my cars were street tuned and only dynoed for the numbers only.

This. All I've read on e85 is that if you don't increase the timing you aren't taking full advantage of it. I can't verify the 20-30 degree range, but it does sound about right.
