e85 is always better then meth injection. just keep in mind it consumes 30% more fuel, so your MPG will not be to good.

The biggest question is can you get e85 easily where you are? Being in the midwest im assuming so. Around here there are only 2 stations within 30 miles that have it.

e85 all day. it's safer and more consistent. no mixing to figure out, no explosive liquid sloshing about in the trunk, no potential 5th injector failure causing severe detonation, etc, etc. plus there are dozens of stations that carry it all around us.

you can get tuned on both 93 and e85 and switch between maps for when you run either. there are being breakthroughs where its only a click of a dash button away

Up north, E85 is really nonexistent. Meth is a great octane boost among other things. I can also attest to the fact that a meth set-up can survive an Alberta winter with no issues.

Yes. It was in preparation for a larger turbo that I have yet to purchase. Not much use on the stock turbo. But, not entirely useless.
