> I would like to see the details on the 200 Nick. I know its 2.2L 5 zylinder with 200+k all stock except 3076R and EMS. You’re on a 044 pump but what injectors? And do you know the peak duty cycle on E85. What boost and timing do you run on corn too? I know its 20ish PSI on pump 93.

2.2l 20v 5 zylinder (engine code 3B) with closer to 300k on it. Bolt on GT3076r using the stock exhaust manifold (special exhaust housing) with .63 a/r. I am running Siemens Deka 870cc injectors at 3 bar base fuel pressure and an 044 pump. I see around 85% duty at 25psi boost. Timing was left way too conservative for safety. This year I plan to push the timing a bit more. Around 12 degrees at the torque spike and near 18 at redline.

By the way, I upped the boost to 27ish psi on pump gas and it ran fine.
