Default FUEL options and tuning discussion for your mild Supercharged C5 Setup /// Video

Have a supercharged C5 or are thinking about adding one to your C5?
I have done a fair bit of experimenting with mine the past 3 years as I learned more about what these setups like and have fine tuned my own LS1/A&A Vortech V-3 Si setup. Thought I would share what I have learned thus far (and things I wish I had known about tuning years ago) AND what I believe to be decent fuel options for your mild SC C5 setup.

Feel free to ask a question or leave a comment if you have further constructive thoughts and ideas.
Cheers!

Good information, on the cusp of going SC a&a v3si. Will keep fuel type and mix in mind.

I would guess you will also need bigger injectors if your going to run E33 mix. I know E85 needs bigger injectors

When you add the supercharger kit you need bigger injectors & most go with 60#ers. E33 would work with 60's (I believe) - but full E85 will need more.

I get that I have 1000cc injectors, I was just thinking your E33 may need bigger than the 60's that come with the kit

Just going to depend how much fuel the car needs and power it makes.
