Thanks for all the info guys! I am currently running E85 making around the 400rwkw and went 9.96 @ 137mph, not bad on ACL forgies, stock rods and a GT35/82. Was just wondering how far you could go with E85. By the sounds of it there is no limit on it at the moment! Just what I wanted to here! LIQUID GOLD!!!!!

The figures quoted on the previous page are a slap in the face to those tuners who said you are limited on the amount of boost you can run on the stuff!

All the cars I've played with it so far, spool earlier, spool harder, make more midrange and do nothing but make power. There is a couple of little tricks with it, but nothing an old alky tuner wouldn't know.

Ive done my own tests at a few different servos and the best I got was 71% Ethanol. $2.00 a litre for the good stuff from Just Fuels.

I have been told the United E85 which is supposedly CSR E85 doesn't vary in its Ethanol content and is much more stable than Caltex. Can anyone confirm it?

if i was racing my car at the track id be on C16.. i only use e85 cause i got a street car.. i dont think you could push a car anywhere near as hard or as safe with e85.. if youre on a budget then e85 but if you want to go real fast go methanol or c16 imo..

I would embarrass the driver if i told you what turbo was on it not saying e85 is ****.. its ****ing mad.. just saying if i had my drag car id be on c16.. im sure its $10 a litre for a reason...
