So I'm at the decision making time in my build. Chassis/diffwork done tranny and motor is next.
I have put together the following parts through Craigslist/swap meets/ trades:
-afr 185s 58cc no heat crossover
-new untouched cobra upper & lower (will be match ported to heads)
-Anderson power pipe
-dbx85mm
-accufab 75mm tb
-American thunder flows2.5 inch
-bbk 1 5/8 2.5 inch collector headers
-will have a custom X pipe made with cut outs after the crossover 2.5 inch
-scat 347 crank (new)
-scat h beams (new)
-python 44lbs Injectors
-1.6 roller rockers
-will have a custom ground cam ( when I decide where I am headed I.e.e85 or not)
I know it's gonna be a .30 over motor but I am wondering if my intake/head setup would be able to achieve enough flow and timing to be able to run e85. I was thinking of getting some -6 or -9 cc pistons (head gasket will vary) to put my compression up to 12 to 1. I know it will req a tune need to figure that out open to suggestions.
My goals are low 11s bc it's a vert. I would like the car to make peak power @6k rpm since the valve springs and intake are limited to that. This is not an everyday driver it's a weekend/track car but I'd like it to be dependable.
Just wondering if 12 to 1 is doable with what I have in terms of timing rqd/ flow if it's not i may just build an 11:1 flat top motor and buy smaller injectors. Help tips appreciated .
