    Default What next?

    I'm kind of waffling in what I want to do next for the car - "quicker" is the goal.

    My next move will probably be one of these...

    1) Zl1 Stall
    2) Methanol
    3) E85 (I have the VaporWorx setup with CTS-V pump and id850 injectors)
    4) Chiller system with larger reservoir

    I'm still on stock rear end and stock axles. I'm on stock bottom end, also. Supercharger is stock 3.4 or 3.3 pulley up front (can't remember, whatever 2300 ships with) and 1:1 rear.

    Looking at my mods, any of you have any opinions on what direction to go next? Is there something I'm overlooking?

    I run one with everything else that you have. Talk to Carl at Vaporworx about it. E85 requires @ 20% more capacity than 91/93.

    Thanks for popping in Carl. Do you have a ballpark of the HP limits of the cts-v pump on e85 assuming the injectors aren't the limiting factor?

    No. Like any booster, it kicks in when demanded.
