    well ive had my headers and fwi for awhile and have been trying to decide exactly which way to go either meth or e85.......and E85 it is. I ordered my pump,harness,injectors and pulley today. I should be getting it all on and tuned late next week or weekend at prj performance. Im stoked to see how the car is gonna react.

    It has been proven on at least one 3800 boosted setup to make more power than 110.

    Lawlz. Our shop recently broke at least one (but probably two) dyno cam record using E85. Cheap, readily available (in some areas), and is basically race gas. Its the stuff that dreams are made of....

    that is dumb. anybody can run e85 so long as the fuel system can support it.

    for our cars you need bigger injectors, possibly a fuel pump, and a tune.

    If the car cant tell if theres E85 in there and its setup to run on regular gas and you put E85 in it and go WOT you'll go lean and blow your engine up.... THAT is why your car cant "support" E85

    depends entirely on your mod level and where you'd like to take it.

    It would be pointless. You don't need a high octane in a N/A unless you are running some stupid 13:1 compression ratio or sorts like that.
