Back for more advice....

Ill start off by thanking everyone for their time and advice in advance

Now to business, I have a gt35r with .63 a/r build getting closer to finaly being complete. I wanted to go E85 to help with the bigger turbo, however, the local gas stations have stopped selling e85 for the third time and I dont think its coming back (not enough people buying it localy). I had bought a cop kit, 1200cc injectors, and was about to buy a new walbro 400 pump. Now that e85 is out the window, here are my questions:

1) would 110 race gas be my next best option?

2) The highest octane the gas stations have around here is 91 octane. Or should I mix 91 and 110 to get like 103?

3) Since I wont be running e85, are the 1200cc too much over kill?

4) I have a used walbro 255 (as we all know with time they lose pressure) do I still need to get a 400 since I dont plan on running e85.

p.s. If i do go 110 I will get tuned for 91 and 110

I know its alot to ask; so thanks again

How far are the e85 stations that are still open?

IMO, If i had e85 within 15mins of driving I would go for it. My nearest station is like 45mins .

Get the Zetronics ethanol content analyzer, so you can run e85 as your race gas tune because u can achieve MBT and then get a 91oct tune for daily driving. Remember, just don't switch to your race gas map unless you have at least 70% ethanol.

Who are you using for your tune? This question is also something you may want to speak to your tuner about. I went with Tscomusa and I was very happy with his tuning ability and knowledge of different fuels and his suggestions.

No one within an hours drive has E85. I've been promising Tamar at boosted tuning that my cars going to be ready for like the past 4 months. There's no decent shops locally so I have to go through email tune.

I don't know, just never really liked the idea. Maybe too many horror stories... I don't have any experience myself or know anyone who has run it before.

How often do you plan on running 110? I'd say if you spend the dough to get a quality meth kit good things can happen.

Plenty of good safe guards out there especially on the stock ECU now.

Otherwise 110 would give you decent gains over 91 but if you plan on running often you'll find your wallet getting really eaten up fast.

I plan on running 91 regularly and then 110 only when I go to the drags or cross (only like 3 events year round here). What would be an estimated power difference between E85 and 110. srry don't knw much about the different fuels.

The Main reason why I don't want to have a meth setup is because I know most tuners only do meth tunes in person. I don't have that option; I can only do email tune.
