it's like coming home to a child you haven't met yet

America......F !_! C K YEAH!!!!!!
+1 pretty much sums it up right here. I personally use 91 (its the best we have here in AZ) on the street and E85 when I take it to the track. like he said E85 will build up over time, so I save it for track days. The benefits to E85 are great, I mean whats wrong with more power and torque. But the disadvantages are not to be ignored. In addition to what momostallion said are you're gonna have to upgrade your injectors no matter what. For starters you're gonna need a 255lph fuel pump. Depending on your power levels you might even need a fuel pump bigger than that or a double pumper.
All in all E85 is awesome and really transforms the car into something else. But it does have some disadvantages to it. Best of luck to you man

Everything he said is right on except E85 building up over time. E85 is a natural cleaner type fuel so all the build up is from gasoline that is in the tank, in the lines, in the fuel rail, well it all has to come out some where so it tends clog the fuel filter and gum up the injectors. what you have to do is put a new fuel filter on more frequently until it has cleaned everything out and your good. Now I switch back and forth for the winter a lot because of the winter hard starts. I didn't get the cold start tables corrected last time I had it tuned. E85 has more great benefits than its cons, but like the other guys say as long as you know your good.

I just got off the phone w/ my tuner. I inquired about running e85 and he told me about this mod that switches maps that he runs on his evo IX. I was like hellz yea I was just told about that on the evom forum
So he told me that dyno tuning w/ charts for both maps over stock + the button mod for swapping maps would run me 500 bucks so needless to say i'm going to be runnin 85 in 2 weeks!!! I cant wait to get home.
Also I was talking car with a buddy of mine he said that e85 eats oem seals?? Anyone heard of that through this entire thread not one person mentioned it, neither did it say anything about that on the other ones I read into....?

wait what are we talking about.. O-rings and seals on the injectors?? or on somethin else
seals
I ran e85 for a year and not a single problem. There is a guy that showed a bunch detailed pics of all his injector seals, fuel lines, pump seal, and other stuff that all look like they were brand new. I just read it the other day. People say that, but there are a lot of factors to consider. When you changed to E85, how many miles were on it when you switched over. Just my 2 cents
