Default P29 opinions?

So my motor is almost done, zc block, with 75.5 p29 pistons, block is decked 0.005. head is a z6 mostly stock super tech valves .5mm over, comp valve springs. Just wanna know what fuel people run with this, injector size and what not. compression should be around 12.5:1 so 91 is kinda out of the question at this point

8 miles are you kidding me... that's hardly worth mentioning... if it was 50miles that would be different (but i'd still go for it hehe)

no don't buy e85 in bulk.... i honestly don't like keeping e85 in my tank for more than 2 weeks max at a time. But that's the habit of mine.

There is no stock ECU that will run that, so you'll need to have it tuned anyway. Let your tuner tell you what fuel to run. As for injectors, you need to start off by figuring out how much power you should make from that setup (common enough setup, do some searching around), and get the proper injectors to run that power on the recommended fuel. 12.5:1 is pushing the limits for 91, so you'll most likely need E85.

Cliffs: Talk to your tuner. Let them tell you what injectors and fuel to use.

ohhh ? think you'd beat mine.... obv the concept of torque goes over your head lmao. You're a ricer OP still ******* with a single cam and "street racing" btw that 2357lbs is including the roll cage/areo components.

247/163 in a DC2 at 2357lbs curb weight.

Bench racing has no place in tech forums.
