Wouldn't have mattered. By the time he would have gotten up the ladder to race me, Joel would have already been out due to his car breaking.

We pulled out of the competition because we heard a noise. We drove in/out of the trailer just fine and was fixed the next day.

Thanks.

Sorry to revive an older thread, but I was hoping you could comment on the E85 fuel system. I know ethanol-based fuels require an additional 30-40% of fuel (vs. petroleum based fuels), so I was wondering if you are still able to sufficiently fuel the RS1/RS2 cars on kill tunes with just the primary injectors or if additional supplemental injectors are required? I know fuel systems can be built to support some outrageous numbers so you're more likely to hit the injectors limitations, and exceeding 80-85% duty cycle puts you in an iffy area.

Thank you in advance Taylor, the DP TT-Gs look & perform great. Keep up the great work.

We have a really trick fuel system for these cars.

The system in the car you are asking about has the ability to run the fuel level almost down to fumes with out cavitation issues (we suggest more than 1/4 tank when going WOT for safe measure) and will support 2000hp on ethanol with less than 80% IDC.

Thanks for your interest.
