[QUOTE="94venomV8, post: 10976293, member: 41137"] Lol at this thread, apparently to see benefits of e85 you have to be running 7 seconds or faster in the 1/4. I'm not a e85 guru like Kevin, however I can say that I have a buddy with a turbo lighting that runs almost 30psi (don't know exact amount) but pushes out almost 1200rwhp. And before you talk about inflated dyno numbers, his truck is deep into the 9's. He stepped up from racing gas as it was $7 at our local dragstrip. E85 is at the pump and cost almost $5 cheaper a gallon. Now scuba, you honestly can't tell me it's not cost effective to switch when you will make the same power if not more, and can actuLly cruise on the street with that fuel, it would be pretty cost ineffective to drive on the street with C16 at $7/gallon. If I were to do that in my car I would be going through almost $80 a tank which would last a couple days. That money right there would get you a e85 fuel system very quickly! You would be money ahead in a month or so at that rate. Can you specify why in the world you would not run e85 with your setup? It seems you have the exact setup TO run e85. You also brought up how the weight of your vehicle puts more load on the motor. So wouldn't you want a cooler burning fuel with huge knock support to help relieve some of that heat created by that "huge" load? [/QUOTE]
