E85 doesnt have the same energy content as gasoline and without a tune for it, it will throw a c.e.l. for lean faults. also rubber and aluminum dont take to well to it.

 

wish I would have finished my new setup a day before I would have sent my 044 kit over to you. which fitting held you back?

 

The one I should have had, the 044 to -6. Tony send me a line with quick connect which saved me a bunch of time, hopefuly the other fitting will be here Monday along with the filter sock for the in-tank 044.

What are you putting in now ? I assume larger injectors but what about pumps ?

 

On the same day I saw (2) Different cars on a Dyno, dyno higher on E85.
Being in the Cornbelt, we have E85 on almost every corner, and have Ethanol Plants
scattered all over Minnesota. I discussed this with Tym Switzer, it is very doable but
requires lots of fuel. One of my buddies tuned his Supercharged Viper to run an E85
with larger injectors and monster fuel pump/lines etc. E85 is dirt cheap here in the corn belt so lots of young hot rodders run it in their cars, in everything from Firebirds with big block Chevy's (N/A) to turbo cars (Big Single Turbo Camaro with 1100 RWHP to SuperCharged Vipers.

E85 is a $1.35 to $1.60 today in Minnesota

Its 1.49 here and more places are starting to sell it we run it in almost every car at my shop.

Wes, I will talk to you in the morning

 

For having advantage from E85 you need big fuel lines/injectors (capable of E85 without melting) and than a ECU remap with lots of ignition advance (+5/6°).
You get high power, low EGT's but .... Extremely high cylinder pressure!!! Danger for pistons/rods
