I have a 2011 GT500 and since there is no race gas readily available in my area I want to switch to E85. It burns cleaner, cooler and octane equivalent is higher. I dont care about gas mileage as the price of it is a moot subject comparing it to 93 octane prices. I do not want to run torco everyday... I dont want to subject my upper cylinders and wide bands to the layers of by product that results from running it. My setup is in my signature. Just wondering what I will need to make this happen fuel and spark wise. Thanks!
Thinking of switching to E85
- Thread starter ZX6Ray
- Start date
If E85 available to you and you want to push the highest HP you can on pump fuel, E85 all day.
I will be converting before fall.

On demand 3rd pump for E85. I literally just finished my conversion tonight. I will give you a run down on my set up real quick
Fore Innovations E85 compatible return styleTriple 465 pump hat and 3 pumps
Rails are fed in parallel via a Y block from -10 feed and regulator is after the rails
Injector Dynamics ID1300's handle the fuel control
I will run on pump gas 80% of the time unless I really Fall in love with E85..then I might go 60/40 as theres a E85 station 38min from my house and I have over 100 gallons worth of Storage capabilities now.
My 93 pump gas tune will run off 2 pumps that are wired full time
The pic above is for just when E85 is in use....got the idea after researching the heat transfer from 3 pumps with pump gas...the heat increase was quite substantial.
Lmk if u need any tips or further help.

I've been wondering if you can run E85 and then mix it with pump gas. I know the tunes will be different but you can just carry a tuner for that. I have an E85 station in my town, but outside of that I'm not sure if I can find one.
Yes you can...we actually have a 10% ethanol blend year round here in CT

Jay, why didn't you just run a Fore Pump Controller and Hobbs? My car runs with one pump on all the time with two additional on demand at 2psi. I've even though about buying a 3-7psi adjustable Hobbs so the other two pumps didn't come on so quickly. Did you do it not to have to rely on a Hobbs switch? The FORE controller and Hobbs is proven and I have heard a single case of failure.
