Just curious, has anyone here ever used it?

results?

Im thinking about making the switch on my car but i want to fully research this first. I have a complete 05 CVPI fuel system from tank to injectors sitting here and researching it for differences, and im not finding many.

e-85 tuned and set up properly has great results! I was gonna set up my 04 SB for e-85 just not enough stations in the rural area I live in. Dont know Though how effective or if worth it on a stock motor?

I think "THE MAN" had developed a tune for one of his S/C'd cars to run on E-85.

The stuff's like 105 octane, but requires some special tuning and, IIRC, some other mods to the fuel system (injectors?). Also, it causes accelerated degradation of the rubber/plastic fuel lines, I believe.

Its perfect for a high compression with a blower and lots of boost.

Hello cvpiftw,

If you are naturally aspirated all you will need is a tune from an experienced e85 tuner. The stock injectors will be fine. VMP tuning can set you up.

you'll need to be able to support at least 30% more fuel flow. I was gonna try to tune my car for it, then I got lazy. I'd say go for it :burnout:
