[VR] Vengeance TT C6Z06 puts down 1419RWHP/1321RWTQ on E85! Pics/Details Inside!
If you hadn't kept up with our customer's 67mm/440c.i./Pro-EFI C6 Z06 build, check out the link below for the past build thread:

This vehicle laid down a solid 1,098rwhp on pump 93 fuel and no methanol. The customer drove the car like this for several weeks, including running the GA WannaGOFAST 1/2 mile event at 185mph, and then decided to turn up the wick a bit more. We added an AlkyControl dual nozzle methanol system with hard-lined nozzles, as well as tuned for E85. We still have yet to use the methanol in the vehicle as IAT's were very good for our dyno sessions with our custom air-to-water intercooler system.
One of the key benefits of going to the Pro-EFI management system was their excellent E85 flex fuel system that is integrated into the kit.
After filling the car up with pump E85 fuel, we hit the dyno and began the tuning process. Unfortunately it was roughly 20* on the dyno, and the drag radials were having a difficult time getting traction on the dyno rollers. We had a 250lb gentleman in the back of the car to try and keep the tires from spinning, but we still couldn't completely defeat the issue.
The end result: 1,419rwhp / 1,321rwtq
That is an increase of 321RWHP just from using E85 fuel!!!
Once we were done on the dyno, we couldn't miss the opportunity to throw on the customer's street wheels and head out for a small photo shoot. A vehicle of this caliber should always look as good as it performs, and this one definitely does that!
Stay tuned for results in May as we take the car back to the WannaGOFAST Georgia 1/2 mile, and hope to add a third Corvette to our list of 200+mph 1/2 mile vehicles

Congrats and I'm glad to see an update to this build. It would be intersting to see what this setup would make on 93 and meth. Do you think the straight E85 numbers would be higher than 93 and meth? What was the ethanol content of the fuel in the tank?
1419/1321 is with the tires spinning on the dyno? Does tire slippage have any effect on the dyno results? Either way, impressive build and performance. I'm looking forward to seeing what it does in the 1/2 mile.

It would be nice to see an overlay of the 93 octane numbers vs. the E85 numbers. You mentioned that it was 20 deg F on the dyno. Will IATs still be in check when the ambient temps are in the 90s?

Great results as always.
What was the timing difference between straight 93 and e85?

Would be nice to see this setup run some other 67s out there....Inspec12?
Nice build btw, makes me miss mine...just needed "support". Kudos Vengence!
