    e85?

    Is there any certain things that need to be different to run e85 over regular 93 pump gas? We have 4 stations that carry it in San Antonio so I am thinking I would like to run that if possible.

    im running my walboros with no issues on e85. theres a lot of urban myths on e85, your best bet is to visit sites like proe85racing.com and etc

    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

    our tahoe can run it, and goes from like 16mpg, to 8. It's an 02, so was the first year gm really tried their hand with it. I'm sure it's got better, but it's only like 10cents a gallon cheaper out here, not worth it IMO. I know a few guys who put HUGE injectors in their turbo imports, so they can run the stuff. They think it's great, because they can run more timing or something. If the truck was actually tuned for e85, and not BOTH, I think it'd be worth it...but I know my buddy's car runs like complete garbage on his e85 tune when he puts regular gas in it.
    blown transmissions are about as useful as 97% of the guys on this forum
