Anyone switch to E-85
thanks for the quick replies. im glad to see that people have done it and with success. and the savings over race gas are perfect. i have a place in PA that is selling it for roughly 2.59/gallon and i am going to fill two 55 gallon drums this weekend. I have a 255 pump/1000cc injectors already and AEM EMS being installed so i think ill be ok fuel wise. but thanks again for your help.

RRE tells me they get about the same number out of it as they do with 110.
Problem for me is, the nearest station is an hour away. Conversely,Willow has 110 in pumps. Either I drive 2 hours and fill up a 55, or I just unload the car at the track and fill it up. I'm choosing to run leaded because it's so much easier. I'm willing to pay an extra 3 bucks a gallon because of it.

Makes sense.. It has alcohol in it, doesn't it? Leaded race fuel runs a bit cooler as well, although you're prolly saying that E85 runs cooler still. For me, it'd have to be liquid turbo to commit to driving 2-hours for fuel every time I go to the track.
I'll talk to Mike about it though. Appreciate the tip.
When you stop to think about it, it's not quite fair, since Warrtalon just drives across the Colorado-Nebraska state line and gets the purest, non-commercial grade E-85, fresh from the refinery!
I've made 43hp/40tq just switching to E85. That's after installing 1000cc injectors and doing a tune, same boost level. My tank wasn't completely drained and still had over a gallon when we poured in E85.
I run E85 on my EVO and I am local to you..If you have any question or need help PM me..I'm also curious as to where it is available near richboro, are you talking about center city shell??

Pretty sure all the GM 5.3's are dual-fuel, and that's just their trucks.
I am currently running 91 with 50 meth/50 H2O. In other week upgrading to and Evo Green, larger injectors, ECU alt map switching to use E85 or 91.
Does anyone have any experience with running meth 50/50 with E85... it would be easier for me just to continue to spray meth when running 91 or E85. But, is there any advantage to not running meth/h2o with E85? Seems to me not much if any advantage to spraying the meth, but the h2o would help to control knock with E85.
Thanks...
