Why not prep the car for E85?

[QUOTE="Voltwings, post: 14968557, member: 155561"] One thing to consider is its track capabilities. In my 2013 5.0, making just a tick over 400 whp, i was going through 1/4 tank per 20-25 minute session at the track on 93-98. Go to 100% e85 and you're looking at another ~40% fuel demand, and you'd be going through over half a tank of gas per session between the E85 needs and the higher power demands of that motor. E85 is awesome at the track, but it takes a lot of consideration and planning. We actually run our cars on 50/50 to get the cooling and octane, but still save some fuel headroom and not have to cart like 50 gallons of E85 to the track. E85 has its place, but its not at the commercial level. [/QUOTE]
