Let's hope they keep inching closer... especially if a lot of demand is seen.
Whoa, so there is one off exit 333 too? Why is E85 so popular out there? The local PD or city might be using E85 and get their fuel from those stations. That's about the only reason i can think of, as to why there is a high concentration of E85 in that small town.

The station off 333, what was it? Exxon? Where exactly was the station in refference to i-10.

If you don't plan on making over 500whp(sounds about right), you will be good with a Walbro 255 and some 1150cc injectors(90%+ duty cycle tho) , but i would go ahead and buy a set of 1600cc injectors for future proofing. You may want to get crazy down the road. The FIC 1650cc Blue Max injectors would be my choice....Although, their high-z offerings work very well too. You'll have to remove the resistor pack to run these, tho. I'm a big FIC fan, mine are great (1050cc). I'm actually at 85% duty cycle on my FIC 1050cc injectors on E85 and a single Walbro i'm over the 500whp mark now, although i will not disclose my exact numbers just yet.

I would say unless its readily available then stay pump unless you are wanting more mods/power.

yea i mean its a bit close than valdosta now, and my car is pretty much a weekend warrior anyway. and map switching is avalible... but say a tuned 93 pump car vs a tuned e85 car both with the same minimal mods (aside from the pump and injectors for e85) how much of a difference in power are we talking?

its like running race gas pretty much so depends on the mods boost etc. but comapred to a 93 vs E85 if tuned correctly the E85 will put down more..

side note.. Rons car got sideswiped on 295 last night... he's ok the car.. well frame appears NOT to be bent and now its waiting on the insurance...
Ron glad your ok man and tell us what happened exactly..
