[QUOTE="Silver03Termi, post: 10396318, member: 84674"] He's in the process of doing a build. He will be able to run more timing and have a cooler air charge. E85 is a great idea for this car. Hes not just expecting to pour it in and get horse power. E85 doesnt work the same as other high octane fuels, such as turbo blue. Yes its higher octane. However, its not petroleum based and doesn't contain the same amount of energy as a gasoline of the same volume. Therefore the car needs more fuel to do the same amount of work. So any time you run e85, unless the car is set up to know its in the tank (which is a function of density) you have to have a retune and typically a larger fuel delivery system. With petroleum derivatives you can just add more timing and a little bit of fuel to make more power. With E85, you have to add a lot more fuel than you would with just petrol based.
