Power limit ? Boost limit?
I have a full blown 8.8 rear end. I was asking a general question for a general answer. I made 425 on 93. My goal is 500. I drive the car about 2-3 times a week. But not daily. Q16 isn't a big deal on cost. But most are steering me toward e85. So I'll have to upgrade fuel. The only thing I don't like about e85 is the alcohol in it and supposedly it can rot lines and do damage if it sits over winter. And I have an aem ems 2 so I don't have a flex fuel type sensor like with a haltech.
Now that I know 500 is a safe number for e85. The question is what BS is this e85 trip gonna cause me as far as problems go.

I've HEARD that about E85 too but to be fair, I've personally never seen it be a problem. Then again maybe I've never seen a car sit all winter that runs it. I suppose you could flush the tank if you stow it all winter, otherwise take it for the occasional drive every few months. I would bet you could see 25psi all day long in the stock block but like I said, better to try to shoot for lower boost and more power, it means a more efficient setup and nobody would mind that of course.

It's simply disconnecting the return line
and emptying into a 5 gallon container with the car running. Once it is empty, and you know it will be empty when you see air bubbles coming out of the return line. Fill the car with 93 octane and then load your 93 octane map. Turn the ignition on and off to get 93 octane into the lines. Then start car up on 93 octane running around a little bit and then park it for the winter.

Thanks for the info. Yes this is what my tuner said to do
I agree. It's definitely not safe. I wouldn't go over 14psi on a stock block. Anything over that, e85 should be used. I say e85 because of the better cost and availability depending on location.
