[QUOTE="whizdumb81, post: 10240500, member: 52418"] Yes the flip chip or the multi-tune idea is great... But (maybe because i over analyze things) what happens when you mix the regular gas with an e85 mixture and wind up with a like half and half mixture? Which is bound to happen unless you run the tank down to the bitter end everytime. I guess im thinking too much but in the pursuit of knowledge one must be a devils advocate to raise questions that need answers.. Anyway i would love to one day change my car over because i am a fan of the regrowable fuel idea.. so if we can all figure out how to properly do this on a performance car before e85 becomes more widespread than thats great... Also maybe someone will design a duel tank system for cars that want to run different fuels at different times. e85 at the track and regular fuel on the road but i don't know the practicality of that... My head hurts from thinking about this too much but i hope that whatever you decide to do it works out for you. Also i would like to find out how the long term use of e85 (which burns hotter) will affect our aluminum blocks, piston, gap rings, valve seats and overall distortion. I would take an educated guess to say that if you plan to run that kind of fuel you should upgrade your cooling system or deffinately run like a water wetter mixture in your radiator... I almost feel like this should become a sticky because it will probably contain a lot of answers to discussion questions that may affect us in the future. [/QUOTE]
