[QUOTE="Ct.TOPGUN, post: 10977238, member: 32749"] I saw this the other day. But did not respond then. But now that it has been brought up on our Lightning Forum(lightninrodder.com) I think I must. How many are pushing a severly limited cylinder head design as hard as the ScubaMatt? A 2V Modular motor does not tolerate boost or timing well. It is real sensitive to the perils of detonation. Not like the 4V motors I am sure most of you run. Those handle way more boost and timing safely. You other examples of success are more of the same. The weight and aero penalty we fight makes the load real high and the dangers higher. It may be fully possible to achieve Mean Best Timing on E85 for your motors. I would not try to approach our MBT without the support of C16. It's motor octane number is well above E85. And has a very attractive RVP. Would E85 be a good street fuel? Absolutely! If you need to turn up the timing or boost for driving around it is a fairly innexpensive way to get good performance fuel. But my 93 pump tuneup has too much power to hook up on street tires(MT DRs) as it is. Jim [/QUOTE]
