I would say E85 would definitely make more power... but fore those who dont have access to E85 such as me in CT meth and 93 is the next best thing.

There is no question about it. E85 will make more power for sure easily.

E85 for sure. Do yourself a favor. If its not available so close to you, go on ebay and buy two 55 gallon drums. Fill the the drums up and youll have 110 gallons ready to go. Find an all plastic pump to fill a 5 gallon gas can to fill your car up.

As theres only two E85 stations in Jersey, i did exactly that, and will not be missing my meth injection!!

I've done the whole fillng up drums thing, and it's awesome to run e85, but depends if it's worth it to you to do that or not.

I would much rather run e85, but it sucks having to transport that much gas everytime you need more. And I hated the feeling of having that much gas in my garage/side of my house. Also just used a stock fuelpump and used a pos and neg wire and ran it off of my car battery when filling up.

E85 will make more power.

E85 all the way.

There was debate as to Meth and its safety for the motor. I came away from that thread with the understanding that your only as safe as the meth kit itself. Do a search on the turbo forum. Goo read in there....One post started by Mike@AWD and one from a heavy meth user.

I believe aquamist was all over both threads defending their products and demanding other meth kit manufacturers step their game up.

But yeah there is no denying if E85 is readily available for you that is the absolute best thing to run.

E85 all the way. Your not neccesarily going to make more power with it, but you consistantly have it and never have to worry about if your failsafe on the meth kit is gonna work when u run that meth tank dry. If E85 is readily avalabel in your area do it up!

I would much rather use E85 over methanol injection. I just wish that E85 was more available. Methanol Injection works great and makes good power. It's just that if your pump fails, your probably going to pop your motor.
