I/C ftw. It may cost more but its less of a hassle and wont worry about winter temps.

Intercooler 1st IMO you can run that with any fuel type. Get that done and tuned then do E85 if you still want more.

plus doesnt E85 eat plastic lines overtime?

No not the new nylon lines like on our cars. If you had an 80s or earlier car then you could have an issue, but when you get that old its time for new lines anyways.

Ehh IMO maybe some will say Im completly insane but to me an IC should be a foundation item such as the type of cam your using and the type of forced induction your using. E85 on the other hand is IMO a supporting item such as the size pulley your using. Now with that being said sure an intercooler doesnt need to be a foundation item but you better take that into consideration choosing came and compression ratio. (say NA vs L67 bottom end)

i was looking at running E85 in the wagon, thats why i was wondering. i have all SS lines from the the tank to the carb, a E85 SPecific carb is 650$.

I know the OEM Flex fuel cars use a gas tank heater. Has anyone implemented a heater on their E85 converted car? If not, it could be something to check into. That is pretty much hoe they are good to go in the winter.

Well I live in south Florida so I don't have to worry about winter temps....and I don't and won't have the cash to intercool anytime soon

I'll admit it, I'm an E85 convert now. A station close started offering it so I gave it a try. I wish they'd have done it years ago, because now I can't throw enough timing at it. She runs soooo much better with the combo I've got now it's not even funny.
