Congrates, those are some nice numbers. Car is fast. E85 would be a good gas type for Wisconsin, I have a gas station nearby. might be an option!

What kind of fuel setup/ system would someone need for a full exhaust and tune for it? I am extremely impressed with your setup and am happy to see people taking steps in the right direction for alternative fuels in the NW.

Also, is this fuel E85 or the winter blend which is actually E70?

Thanks!

I would think a stock turbo EVO would want 780's-1000's and a boost actvated inline fuel pump would do the job fine. Of corse you would flash tune the whole deal. Could also do the 92oct tune and could just reload 92flash if you had to put gas in it.

The E85 is rated at 105oct but really seems to have almost the same anti knock of C16. Also the E85 just seems to give more all around power in just normal driving.

The gay thing for EVO's is the gas tank is so small. Really after you get all setup and tuned on the E85 and are making 50+ hp over pump depending on your setup you could almost dobble your gas use depending on your driving habits.

So maybe just over 100mi to a tank if you are riping on it some and if you total grandma drive you might be able to squize just over 150mi out of a tank.

I know I has some that was about 3mon old that was in a plstic drum that I kept out side under cover and it was junk. Probably would be better if it was in a metal drum inside. I really dont know what the shelf life is really ment to be if stored right.

I don't keep race gas or methanol aroud for more than a month personally but, I was interested in others who may shelf some of their own supply do.

According to some race gas suppliers it has a shelf life of 1-2 years if stored in a sealed container with no sunlight exposure and off the concrete floor. Call me strage but, I don't trust my motor to my container being sealed properly.
