E85 thoughts??
Been throwing all kinds of ideas around....might be looking to E85 this winter for the Hemi.....
What do you guys think? Anyone tune for E85? |
I've been following your conversation with Shawn on FB. He seems to love how much power he's making (10 second street car, holy hell!!!). Its also hella cheap, I think his pic showed $3.09/gallon right now? My only concern is with deterioration of engine parts and, as un-cool as this is, mileage using it. I would be willing to move to custom tuning and whatever else is necessary as long as I can get the power but still retain reasonable mileage since I drive 40+ miles daily.

The idea is to not have to spend over three tines the price of race gas for 15-20% more mileage. If i go E85 i will probably buy a beater first. All the fast hemi cars run E85.....but at that point mileage doesnt mean much

Are you gonna spray big or go boosted?
|
Either or....I will probably do nitrous first and then save for Whipple or Kenne Bell
|
It's a straight plug boot. I'll get some pictures later tonight

Ford did some testing with one of their 4-cyl setups, but they were also using a turbo and analyzing the results... I do know several folks run E85 instead of racing fuel. 105 octane at that price is pretty good... |
I will end up with probably a 10.4 CR long block next winter with good heads and a cam, so E85 will probably be the easiest way to go so I can drive it and not have to swap tunes for better gas. Only thing that really needs swapping to run E-85 is the fuel system....pump, and lines mostly.
