Any of you guys use No lift shift alot? Seems strange to not lift on shift.
I've been using it since 2002 or so. You'll learn to like it. For what you do though it can unsettle the car.

I forgot to add, guys blow their engine because they try to add 50% methonal ratio to total fuel.
Therefore dont get even distribution of this fuel to all cylinders. there is a good reason why injectors are as close as possible to combustion chamber. the whole idea is to not replace the fuel, but instead cool the air temps and add a small amount as fuel replacement.

And E85 does really need more work to function properly. Because you have to add injectors and fuel pump, change your map setting for injectors, adjust and monitor for your changed fuel trims then adjust fuel for good A/F. Methonal injection on the other hand have no need to replace injectors nor fuel pump, no need to adjust fuel trims. All you do is adjust fuel map for good A/F. Booth require timing changes of course.
Methonal does require a lot of wiring though, but this is a lot easier than changing out injectors and pump. At least an average joe can handle wiring, not changing out injectors and pumps.

There would be some cooling due to E85 just with the extra mass flow and higher specific heat....

Is the walbro255 enough pump to keep up with the demands of E85?
