okay wanted to start this thread just to get some input on thoughts of running e85 ?

It is liquid swartz on a turbo motor. Here are some pluses:

Faster turbo spool
lower exhaust temps, about 400F
105 octane
has a distinct odor, lets people know you ain't playing around.

a couple of things to be mindful of:
it is a mild corrosive
you need BIG injectors and a pump that can flow
your mpg's will be a lot worst
really need it dyno tuned by someone who knows E85 to get decent gains
you need an exhaust that flows good

I heart E

thanks supa im looking at the holley 500 2 barrel for this, ill keep u informed,by the way supa ive got a holley black pump do you think it will work and all my lines are 3/8s steel lines pump and return.

I don't know anything about carb fuel pumps, but 3/8" lines are plenty unless you are going for more then 400whp on the E. Oh ya your going to have to rejet and adjust your timing everytime you switch between pump and e85.

Fuel injection is cheaper in the long run if you add in all the gas you will save from having a efficient high performance engine, I'm just saying :thumbs:
