[QUOTE="Turbo98, post: 12775320, member: 39787"] I will agree that some of the marketing with selling special parts for the E85 fuel systems is bogus. I simply did some research to dispel those myths. Along those lines, you have a lot of places dogging E85 because it’s cheap, makes more power safely than race gas, and it’s cutting into their profits. A lot of these places have run, sold, or built cars around race gas for years and they won’t budge off of it and try something different. It definitely levels the playing field. A car that previously could only be run at the track because of the high cost and lack of availablity of the race fuel can now be driven on the street also and filled up at the pump. Yes, Ethanol is alcohol but it is not Methanol. It has some different properties than Methanol. You can’t really compare the two. But there is a reason people have run Methanol for so long—it makes great power. The other thing is that E85 is cut with gasoline (for easier starting for example) and is available at the pump. Pure Methanol is actually harder to light than pure Ethanol and Ethanol is harder to light than gaoline. From what I’ve seen, E85 works better and makes safer power than E98. Why is this? Don’t know. I’m not trying to throw out a bunch of smoke and mirror stuff either regarding “hidden secrets” with E85. If anything, the "smoke and mirrors" centers around tuning a car on E85. I honestly don’t think the high performance industry has discovered the true potential of E85 (not E98) and why it works so well. The bottom line is that it is becoming apparent that people are making a lot of huge and reliable power with E85 at a fraction of the cost and inconvenience of race gas. The bottom line is that people can believe what they want. There’s still a lot of opposition to it for whatever reasons. I’ve had great success with it and my whole build was centered around running E85 exclusively. I’ll continue to run it and test it at different blends and make huge power.
