    Default 10.1 pistons / FP3065 / E85

    It seems that I maybe buying a set of new pistons and I am up in the air about what to go with so I am asking the community to share some insight of their experience/s.

    I will be running a 100% E85 setup with a FP3065. The car will not be driven as DD but will see its share and more of it is planned to be to the track and back home and the occasionally out and about drive at night to play. Anyway I am looking @ 9:1 c/r for the reason I might consider throwing in pump gas when I am low or out of E85 since the nearest location for E85 is a good 45-1hr away for me. So would 9:1 be a the better choice or should I consider the 10:1 my good friend has gotten me thinking about.

    If anyone running a general setup please let me know what boost your running in relation HP numbers if available. Also what is the spool up difference with 10.1

    Thanks you all

    I wish that when I put my motor togehter I went 10:1. If you have to run pump gas just run the car on wastegate and that is it. I am on California 91oct which is total piss, and I still wish I had 10:1 or even higher.

    Go 9:1.... you already have a hard time finding e85 and will have an even harder time finding one when they start to shut them down.... my .02 cents. pump gas ftw.
