WOW...I am still kinda of speechless from the trip. David, Jarrod, Daniel and the rest of the guys at the shop, you are truly the best. Words cannot describe my experience this last week in Ohio. Well worth driving through a level 3 blizzard of black ice and snow drifts in excess of four feet.

David and Jarrod, I sincerely look forward to our continued friendship and appreciate all you have done to help me! I am lucky to have you as a sponsor and even more so as friends!!

It is safer than "Gasoline" It won't corode your engine Your engine will last longer!

Accually, E85 is more corrosive than "gas"

E85 is around 104-105 octane, plus additional cooling properties..

Basically, race fuel, that's cheaper than "gas", more enviromentally friendly, and it's available at your local petrol station. (depends on where you live though, it's not everywhere, yet)

Haha, lol! I definitely will need to do that after seeing you make them look so effortless We need to switch to one arm pull up's too though as my left shoulder/arm is pretty much useless Gotta give the handicapped guy a chance ... not talking about you J-Rod. It goes without saying that I would definitely want David on my side in a bar fight

I just saw on the local news that the town where I grew up (25 miles from here) is possibly getting an ethanol plant!

Ethanol is much cleaner than gasoline. Burns cleaner, non of the deposits and problems gasoline has in the fuel lines/filters. My guess is spark plugs and oxygen sensors are going to last basically indefinetely on E85.

Mr. Buschur..

Would your double pumper in-tank setup, with the standard Walbro's be enough to run a maxed "37R" on E85?

Do you happen to know what kinda power, on E85, your double pumper, with standard Walbro's and H.O.'s will support?

But do to high alcohol content isnt it going to dry out and weather/crack seals, orings, fuel injector insulators, fuel lines(rubber) premately? Im tryign to weigh out all the effects it will have in the car. Like Ford made changes to the fuel systems in the flex fuel vehicles.

I am going to say the double pumpers will easily supply a maxed out GT37r car.
