E85 More Horsepower? etc.

[Slammed96]

It does burn a LOT cleaner. You also get a much cooler Air/fuel charge into the cylinder. (Just another point I didn't see mentioned)

Which, along with the high octain rating, is why FI vehicles love it so much. Correct?

[Frenchy]

Yep.

wasnt aware there was different brands of c16.............

[PurpleMinivan]

Yes the amount of ethanol injected into the cylinder gives it awesome cooling and burns hot which helps spool a little faster

wasnt aware there was different brands of c16.............

VP is the one you're referring to... Sunoco makes an equivalent and is what I was running. $8 a gallon when I was using it vs $12ish for VP.

The fact that E85 is 35% oxygenated has nice benefits..

[ChevyLee]

It also smells better then regular gas. But not as good as c16

In answer:

e85 on a N/A setup really isnt worth it, you will use 30% more fuel than you do with 93 and would have to swap between tunes if you wanted to see any gains. You could swap between it and 93 without chaining tunes but all you will be doing is burning more fuel and wasting taxpayers (my) money...

Area47 is an extended cab truck, below is his signature from pt.net. I really like his truck and he comes off as a cool guy.

For comparison my truck was running 13.4s @ 103s with out headers in 95 degree heat.

I heard he has done a lot of tuning and switched to the e85, but I rarely ever get on that forum any more so I haven't been keeping up with his truck.

12.7s sound nice from a bolt-on ec 6.2 though.

Edit: And I am with the majority of the guys who posted in front of me that it really isn't needed N/A.
