    biggest down falls are lack of availablity, requires larger fuel supply, uses more fuel

    now the Pros are endless. to make 10-15% more power at same level is just insane

    it has its positives, but also plenty of negatives

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference

    another option is to get drums of E98. E98 is much more potent and is purer

    I'm about to buy these injectors and do the swap myself... http://www.injectordynamics.com/ID2000.html. I'll buy E85 or E98 buy the drum to ensure the purity... Most stations say E85 but it's really E68-E78. I fill up by the drum as it is now lol, it's not that bad when the gas smells sooooo gooood!

    Because of the fact that e85 actually fluctuates in methonal content like it does, is because the government doesn't have it regulated as it does with regular pump gas. That combined with the extreme difference of mixture percentage depending on the time of year make it fairly unpredictable. You can bring a methonal content testing strp with you every time you fill up, and tune accordingly. Or, you can run one safe tune which will be around.70 lambda. It will run rich with some mixtures, and just right with others. Race fuel companies regulate their e85 very well, and are always consistent. Buying drums from them is highly recommended. A 105 octane rating, and a 15% power gain just by switching from pump to e85 is very worth it. Plus, combustion chamber temps reduce significantly. E85 simply has way more pros, than cons.

    Wher are you going to get drums of e85 & e98? Just wondering. I am still doing the reading up on this. So nothing else is needed other than more fuel supply. ie. meaning needs bigger pump, more injector, and larger hoses. Correct?

    When you buy everything make damn sure it's alcohol compatible. It will eat through anything not meant to handle it.
