[QUOTE="RedVenom48, post: 16537667, member: 166576"] Ill definitely give that a read. I also want to be clear that Im not trying to come off as a prick or anything. Definitely learning a lot about Ethanol! One thing I know is that the factory supercharger on my car is called the Heaton by most of the tuners out there because of how hot the discharge air is. Im planning the fuel system before a new blower. Im interested to see how much it will help with timing compared even to 100 race fuel. Im also starting understand that the MIX of E54 (and any ethanol blend) makes the base gasoline's stand alone rating irrelevant. Your figures are what Ive been calculating today with this calculator: [URL='http://www.wallaceracing.com/ethanol-mix-calc.php']Calculate Ethanol % of Mixture[/URL] Ive been assuming worst case scenario its indicating that 100 % Ethanol (at 112 octane for this calculation) and a base Gasoline rating of 85 mixed to 54% is coming out to about 100 octane. Im sure there is a few point difference in the real world. Just for giggles, I recalculated with 91 as the base gasoline. Simulating adding Boostane Professional to the gasoline component, its calculating out to be 103 Octane. So if this anywhere even remotely correct, that indicates the base mixing gasoline in the E54 isnt detrimental in theoretical rating. This was my biggest fear regarding E54, compared to E85. I know you guys have been saying that since I started this thread but Im one of those idiots where "I have to do it myself to understand it". E85 when run through this calculator is indicating 109 octane. The theoretical 9 full octane points is something, to be sure. However seeing these calculations real time and that even worst case scenario E54 is 100 octane makes me MUCH more at ease about not having full power E85. [/QUOTE]
