i have a buddy who owns a gas station he has many different race gasses as well as containers he has some 55 gallon drums that you could take to the station and fill up you just need 2 or 3 people to move it then just pump it out of the 55gal to a 5 gal to put it in the car ive been thinking about going e85 as well

just wondering.
I just wait until the light has been on for a little bit, I normally get about 12 gallons in when I switch between the two. I'll hopefully be back on e85 today

Absolutely, why not... I have a pump 2 miles from my house and I almost have to drive by it everyday to and from work. Not sure about alt maps, if Petey could make that happen then yes, that would be great. I would also like to run Tephra in my car, but I don't have any of the knowhow to do that stuff myself, and I don't have a tactrix cable yet.

Yes, but is his tank E85 compatable, it doesn't say...?
You can do map switching via ICS switch

The ics switch is great and the tephra rom has a built in alt map function for it. The sprayer is just about useless anyway. Mine holds my meth now.

I'm sorry, but what the hell are you running that would require 2000CC injectors? There are 9 second Evo's that make due with 1000's. I'm around 480 WHP and I get away with 780's. No need to throw massive injectors on if they're not needed. I'm sure it sounds cool to tell people you run something huge but it'll just make the car run like a**. Not to sound like a douche but that's just overkill by leaps and bounds.

Any gas can that is made of polyethylene is good for E85. I've had my Flow-N-Go for about 8 months now and it's the best thing for it. ICS switch is a great idea because remember, E85 does not like winter

Couple things
1. Nothing my 1050s are fine for my baby stock turbo
2. Pretty sure with id injectors the 2000s could be made to idle just fine. Tony Palo proved that on a stock Integra as I recall. In fact I think it actually idled better.
3. If I wanted cool, I sure as hell wouldn't be driving an Evo or any import for that matter.
4. The reason you "get away with" your 780s is because of meth. I'm more of an e85 fan boy I will need 2000s far before you will.
