I would like to increase my power and E85 seems like the best way to go so I'm starting to research if this is a real option for me.
The Car- 03 Cobra with a 2.3 Whipple, SCT2400, BAP, & 60's currently running 15lbs but will go up to 16-17 during the warmer weather. (Kansas is a 91 octane state) My car is nice weather only car and will probably see 1-2000 miles a year.
The Problem- I live in a small town where E85 isn't available, but 20 miles away from me is the big city of Wichita that does have several E85 stations. When car show season comes I'll probably be in Wichita around E85 stations once every month or month and a half.
Is it really practical to be swapping fuel and tunes often? The cobra only has 7500 miles on it so driving 40 miles round trip just to fill up is out of the question but if I could have the car setup for E85 and whenever I just get lucky enough to find it or be in the area make the switch that sounds tempting.
If I'm low on one fuel can you just throw in the other or do you have to completely drain the system then refill with the alternate fuel?
Now I realize if I was to go E85 I'll probably need more MAF, 80's, Pumps and maybe return fuel system so don't blast me telling me I can't cut it with what I have....as I'm aware.
