Gotta love the Corn! :rockon: :banana::dancenana:
Yeah.......but you have to run 30% more and I'd rather pay $14/gal for C16.....
oke:You're lucky, it's still over $2.30 here......

30% more of $1.84 (even $2.30) is still no where near $14/gal. I've even heard a lot on E85 being better for the engine than race gas. I know I'm glad I made the switch.
Yeah.......I'm just breakin his balls. I'm a E85 user and am just tired of hearing uninformed people saying that C16 is still better.
I'd make the argument that I would still use E85 over any race gas, even if it took 50% more to run it........
Quick question guys, how much do E85 setups usually cost? Excluding the tune of course.
it has been 2.29 here for the longest time, but i cant complain, i have 17 stations to choose from.
it depends on where you start from. if you allready have gt's and a BAP then you just need 80lb injectors and upgraded fuel line. my car maxed the gt pumps and BAP out at 600 hp. going to a -8 feed line dropped my duty cycle to 80%.
Around $1,300 for the Fore fuel hat, GT pumps, 40amp BAP, Stage 2 FPDM, -8 Fuel line, and 80lb injectors. You can also look in the market section for deals.
There are a whole 2 stations that sell e85 in the los Angeles area and they are on opposite sides of L.A. And it is $2.77 a gallon! I guess it is cheaper than the 100 octane pump gas I have been using for 7.99 a gallon. I would expect L.A. to have e85 at most gas stations because of the whole tree hugger/liberal mentality this state is known for. Looks like I can't make the switch anytime soon.
There are 3 less than 10 miles away from me:banana:... i guess I'm going to be spending more money now:nonono:
When will it end...
Are those absolutely necessary? 60's wont work?

:lol: Hopefully it will come down a little more bro, but South Florida has been known for higher fuel prices.Yeah.......but you have to run 30% more and I'd rather pay $14/gal for C16.....

Well it's always good to research first. Heck, I wish I had this available when I started working on Mustangs 20 years ago. Sorry to hear about your track.
You should be happy with it! C16 is leaded and kills O2 sensors. E85 will actually clean O2 sensors. LOL...
Well, it still beats putting in dino fuel. :thumbsup:
It really depends on your HP goals. All you need is more fuel. (Bigger injectors/pumps Etc...)
Wow! 17 stations. That's awesome! Hear that Diego? Wouldn't that be nice in Palm Beach County? There's around 10 here in DFW.
Wow. I wouldn't expect that much of a drop in DC with just the -8 line.
Well this set up would be good for 700 RWHP.
I would think CA would have E85 everywhere! I guess you could always buy a drum and fill up that way. Or buy a few 5 gallon containers. It will still make a lot more power than 100 octane. Erik picked up over 100 RWHP over the 100 Octane here in Dallas.LOL. Don't think of it as spending more money. Think of the money you will be saving by possibly avoiding detonation and melting a piston.
60 will get you to maybe 500-550 RWHP. You will need 80's for sure with your KB. Remember, 80's are 25% larger than the 60's.
And I'm sure you can easily sell the 60's. They are one of the most popular size injectors.
I have 3 e85 stations within 10 miles of me.
I'm actually interested in doing this to my car when I finally have the money to go twin screw. But I'm not gunna lie I have no clue on anything fuel related. I wouldn't know how to do the install or what to buy.

:read::read: Better start reading then! :read::read:
That's all I've been doing. I haven't had a gas tank off in years but now its time :rockon:

Do not have it here in N.C.
Go return style with 80lb injectors.
Return cost me $1,600 (minus the stock parts I sold for $400), so $1200.

Are you running E-85 on your ported and pullied eaton?
Doesn't seem like it but I was just curious. I'm still on the ported/pullied eaton and am just weighing my options on what I want to do to the fuel system just yet.
I don't mind working on the car at all so I may stay small(er) for now and stay returnless. Work needs to pick up!
Good info here for sure
Up here at altitude Im running a ported eaton at 15psi. 60lb injectors are at 80% and stock pumps with a BAP turned all the way up runs upper 90's to 100% duty cycle. So Based off that you'd need atleast the pumps. 60's should be able to get you close.
<<<< For the new guy named venumb (Joe) the duty cycle is based off of how hard the pumps are working correct?
Or you said your injectors are pumping 80% of their pontential and the duty cycle of the pumps is close to 100% which I assume is hard on them? Lowering the pumps duty cycle is the way it should be correct? Maybe 70-80%?
Thanks for the help, just trying to gain some knowledge here so I know what I want to do and what direction I'm heading :thumbsup:
