What were the changes between the green and blue?

Blue you added cams and 3" intakes, that's it? You gained a good amount of power in the top end.

To run E85 what all do you need?

I'm actually surprised to see power drop on the top end. I felt like the intake and exhaust cam combo would make power clear to 8000 (not that you will be reving that high)

yeah i thought it would hold power a bit longer as well..i'm going to try a few different parts later on this year to see if it will make more top end power..Redline is 7900
3.3 final drive will be going in probably end of year and new dyno's numbers will be had.. hoping to make in the 380 range with some different parts..

Why change the final drive? I don't think I'd want anything lower than 3.69. the stock 3.35 is such a dog

You can safely assume a 4% gain in power. I lost 2% going from 3.35 to 3.69.

I have four stations in the radius of my 33 mile commute to and from work that sells E85. Only one carries it that will bump me up to around 80%. Rest are all in the 60s as well.

That red is going to look really interesting back there. You going to ditch the sticker and get some SS hardware?
