Pro and Cons of E85

You say, "The pro's outway the cons by far with using it in a race car. I wouldn't go back to race gas, if someone was going to buy it for me."

Is your car turbocharged or supercharged? I am thinking, probably not, because the consistency problem that forced-induction cars have, keep them from being favorites in Bracket racing, but, that's just a guess.

My car is a high-boost car that depends on reliable octane numbers to keep it out of detonation with 25 pounds of boost, so, I depend on octane I can count on to prevent engine "accidents." Insufficient octane, combined with too-aggressive spark events and excessive boost can destroy an engine in the twinkling of an eye.

I think E-85 could be the fuel for me but, I am not sure the hoops I'd have to jump through (buying it 55-gallons at a time, testing and maybe, modifying it to "meet specifications" for the way I want to tune/run my motor, would be worth it for me, just a hobby-racer who is not intent on winning bracket races.

But, thanks a lot for all the good information! Sounds like you have a workable plan!:coffee2:
