From some reading I've done, E85 sounds great for track cars but a pita for anything driven on the street.

i'd rather just spike the tank with race gas than haul 30 gallons of e85 around to err track.

Oh its not, I had no idea...

Since you know so much about fuel; should I run straight 93 when I run my TTU map or do you think it be wise to spike the tank with race gas?

Damn goin at him hard.

Although he's right....


I just don't make good power on pump, I'd have to turn the boost up further than I'd like. I've been running 100 octane or at least mixing it with 93 as long as I've been tracking. The power delivery on e85 is worth it alone, the driveability is better and it's got way more get up and go off boost too. I used to swear I'd never lug gas to the track, I converted because I was supposed to be getting my hands on one of the flex fuel systems but the vendor has since stopped communicating. I may still go back to pump for next month but I'm leaning towards not.

also, lugging 6 gas cans ($200?) to the track vs. $2k-$7k turbo kit....
