[QUOTE="Jroc, post: 10269095, member: 51847"] Ding, ding, ding, ding. Somebody hand this man a cigar. IMO E85 is an awesome tool for Terminators particularly on a stock shortblock. Whats the most important things to keeping a modded Terminator motor health? -Of course you need a good tune. -You need to keep it having enough fuel which goes hand, and hand with your tune. -Lastly you need to keep it cool. There have been hundreds if not thousands of factory Terminator motors bite the dust because their owners feel that they should double the cars boost, and do extend high RPM pulls, and act like everything is going to be ok, and they burn a hole in one of their pistons or scar up a cylinder skirt because of it. The factory pistons aren't a flawed piece for a stock motor running stock boost, but they weren't intended to cope with the abuse, and pressures that people put on them. Their piston rings sit too far up on the pistons, and there's not enough piston to cylinderwall clearance to deal with the heat created when people subject them to the loads sustained WOT pulls in their overdrive gears places on them. The cooling properties E85 has is reason enough for some people to want to run E85. I know people who race boats with blown BBC motors that went from C16 to E85 to reap the cooling benefits of E85. Seriously how awesome is it that we have a cheap fuel available that burns like race gas, but also has a cooling effect to it. I'm not saying that people should just convert to E85, and go run there factory motors at WOT in 5th/6th gear, but it certain will help the motor last longer than it otherwise would. It would probably also be an excellent choice for road races who put constant abuse on the car for a sustained time. I know they're going to get worse MPG, but still. Most L owners I've talked to that have gone E85(not a lot) claim that they get about the same MPG all the time whether their frequently stepping on the gas petal or their just cruising down the highway, but IDK.
