This article shows power increase with E85 over C16 and the same amount of boost!

I have a gauge for that

This Afco Pro Series Heat Exchanger is for a Ford Lightning. I have to take some measurements to see how it will fit. I'm hopeful that it'll go in like a glove behind the bumper cover.
AFCO PRO SERIES Features:
•All new double pass design utilizes a 360 degree welded baffle preventing any internal coolant bypass.
•Forces coolant through the top half of the heat exchanger and then the bottom half dissipating the heat twice.
•Provides a cooler, more stable coolant temperature
•Benefit either on the track or the street by running your engine at cooler temps allowing more power to be made and not lost due to heat soak.
These new bushing LS trunnion kits for factory LS rocker arms are designed to increase durability and load capacity without the failure prone to the OEM needle bearings. Engineered to provide maximum lubrication to the trunnion while also providing maximum load capabilities, the bushing LS trunnion upgrade kits give the LS world peace of mind.
Each trunnion is micro-finished to a specific RMA finish. The bushings are centerless ground and then micro-polished to clearance specs. Oil from the rocker is fed directly to the axle area of the trunnion and does not interfere with load capacity. The proprietary bushing material is fed with an oil channel at the 11 and 1 o'clock positions of the trunnion. This channel constantly feeds oil to the bushing surface ensuring proper lubrication unlike needle bearing trunnions that have to rely on oil finding it's way to the needles. The greater surface area of the bushing will support 300 times the load of what a needle will due to the fact on a needle bearing upgrade, your load is dependent on 3 or 4 needles to carry the load. The needle with the largest diameter will carry most of the load. Also there is no chance of needle bearings destroying the engine when using much more aggressive cam profiles and a rocker arm fails.

Trying to find information about using a 2006-2007 Trailblazer OS and if it's 3 bar compatible isnt as straightforward as I thought it would. I'm not as software savvy as I'd like to be. I'm looking at using a LS7 slot style MAF (with saxonpc honeycomb) and ZR1 3 bar MAP if that matters at all. Anyone know if either OS supports 3 bar with a E40 ECM?
Edit: I just found a HPTuners article that states the E40 uses a 2.5 bar MAP max
The Innovate E85 sensor kit is a GM sensor so all I'll need is to tap into the signal wire and run it to the ECM. Then I'll have real time E85 content, fuel pressure, fuel temp, and A/F ratio.

Just got the new trunnion/bushing kit...I was checking them out closely and noticed on side had slightly more chamfer to it than the other. Since the kit didn't come with any install instructions I figured it was best to just call Straub Technologies directly. He informed me that the straighter edge goes to the outside and the chamfered side goes to the inside. I applied some assembly lube very lightly on the inside of the rocker arm and the inside of the bushings. They pressed right in with no issue. They look to be a nice piece. Hopefully they do well in the engine.

It's Tax Time so lots of companies are offering discounts. I figured I would shop around to see what kind of deals were out there with no particular part in mind. So I put some time into comparing prices from various stores on various parts and Maryland Speed got me a extremely awesome deal on some Injector Dynamics 1300cc injectors that are designed for use with E85. Anywho just throwing it out there that deals are good right now.
