Fan fix has worked. Went for a cruse when it was 90f and highway Temps at at 192f...and Temps come down when I get off the highway. Today it was 80f and Temps were just under 190f. I'm sure if I got my trans cooler off the radiator it would help lol.

Also my tune is doing pretty well I think

Amazing what a little more air flow will do.
Definitely more than a little. I bet this fan pulls 2.5x more air. I still think the radiator is a bit junky tho.

Does it feel like you're making more now than last year? Asking because of the 875 lbs/hr of fuel flow.

Can't tell. At 6500rpm and 11.1psi it is using a touch over 880lbs/hr. On engine dyno, same pulley, it made 920hp at 6300rpm and 15ish psi
Also on dyno I was at about 24* @15psi. Right now I'm only at 20*@11.1psi

E85 is generally 1:1 lbs/hr to HP with an optimized AFR and timing. So it's making steam like it was before.

That's a win!

Are you going to dyno again?
That's what I have heard. However I'm assuming that the 4psi I am "loosing" is coming straight from intake air temp drop from adding the intercooler. I would bet my iat non intercooled were over 200f...now they are less than 120f for sure... Might be lower. When I had the engine on the dyno last year the larger pulley made 11-12psi and going from 24* to 26* picked up almost 50hp. I think with the 12psi of intercooled boost I'm making now, 20* is crazy low. I bet if I add timing my afr will lean out from 11.5 it is now, requiring more fuel.

You're likely bang on with the intercooler and charge drop. I assume your system will add fuel as AFR drops? But You're probably right about that too, probably a couple tenths up in AFR. With that intercooler and better fuel control you can probably get a degree or two more agressive on top too. Really spice it up.

I think you’re into plug reading territory. A blow thru will take a lot more timing than most anything else.

I don't think so. It's an 9.2:1 intercooled sbc on e85. I'm pulling almost 16* of timing for 11psi. I bet I end up at 26*. Blow thru is definitely better than non intercooled efi, but the intercooler on efi makes it close.
