The first thing you need to know is if your e85 is actually e85

start to tuning on my dyno dynamic. wow it's crazy. monitor the EGT, AFR, and IDC the whole to bad. 27psi i'm out of injectors and IDC getting into the 97-102% at 6000rpm and up. manage to make 502.3whp. 11.8 AFR. time for some 1600cc injectors.

what do you guys recommend for bigger than 1000cc ?

I have only one recommendation for a stroker EVO engine and E85. Don't.

Read what Buzzard says.

And you don't need E85 to get enough HP to blow the engine, and it will cost you some money to upgrade the fuel system for the extra flow needed. And you cannot trust the quality and octane of E85. And if everything else works out fine you may one day find yourself with an oil pan full of water and ethanol and a set of warped rod bearings.

Go for VP fuel, or the cheaper alternative of premium gas with 30% methanol added. Still need to have a fuel system that handle methanol then, but it will give you a nice and trustworthy 'punch'.
