ethanol burns faster and hotter than methanol methanol burns with a orange flame ethanol burns with a blue white and some orange flame. I can get a hold of e-98 easy but have no race care to use it in. + it's about $2-3 bucks a gallon.

ah, alrighty. I know ethanol burns ridiculously fast compared to gasoline. That's why you need huge injectors to compensate for the massive amounts of ethanol that'll be burned versus gasoline. What injectors you running now?

by the way it burns faster than methanol too you get more energy out of a gallon of ethanol compared to methanol. I state this not for you but others that don't know. You get a racer in the mix they are all out to beat the next guy and want the best and fastest.

I'll run any procharged raptor with my Roush kit. Hell I'll even out money
on the race to make things interesting. So if you can "eat" Roush Raptors
So easily better bring a big big fork Tboy.

Let's do it. Isn't there some big event at state capital raceway next month. I'll be wanting dessert after!this, can I get a whippled Raptor too? You gonna hook that nitrous up to spray I hope...

Btw, good luck on Cody's tune, he did my GT500 2 years back & his tune was garbage. His dyno reads terribly high compared to any other dynojet around here. Should of gone to NOLASpeed, Benjy Burns is the best mod motor guy in Louisiana. Also to add, yours isn't a Roush Raptor, it's a Raptor that's Roushcharged. If this is the case though, I have a Velociraptor. Roush Raptors come in 525 or 590 hp packages, but I'll be glad to see what the SHP 675 package has to offer. I hope they upgraded you heat exchanger since they added a smaller pulley.

I'm not looking to be the fastest, just enjoy mechanical efficiency. After dealing with roots & twin screw blowers, I'll never go back to them. All big hp cars run centrifugal or turbo setups for a reason, efficiency. I would run some type of ethanol fuel, but it isn't readily available in my area.

Nope, don't have any plans to spray. You're correct I'm just running
a Roush Kit. But took your calling out the Roush guys as to anyone
with the setup, and not just Roush Raptors. Hell I'm out here to push
the kit and see what it can do. I know what the Roush Raptors come in,
What times are you making with your truck? Didn't honestly know
people were still going with the procharger kits anymore.

I don't know about what even that would be, but next time I'm
home lets do it. Also goodluck finding a Whipple owner to go
I've been looking for the past year, more of a friendly test
not calling them out or anything. But hell if we can find one
we could all run em and make a day and even out of it like
I tried to do last time around. Just let me know what's up.

As for Stang-Hi, there's differant opnions and stories to
everything. I know a lot of guys personally that had work
done and Codys tunes and with including myself now its
all been good. But I've heard a couple complaints from some
people I've run into at Capital but the good outways the two
negatives I've heard.

Nope didn't add the larger heat exchanger its on the list with our last
and final engine mod I'll be throwing on in the next few months. Calling
It good after that. And I'm going to focus on another new build.
