[s-cars] E85

[James Murray (QA/EMC)]

Impressive... Any fuel savings running E85? Or just reduced cost? 

Nice setup BTW, difficult to do?

I'm running it in my car, You don't really need to upgrade to SS lines
and such, it's not corrosive as everyone thinks.  On the flip side, you
do need ~30% more fuel capacity depending on how rich you like to run so
that usually means dual fuel pumps and larger lines.

How does the car run on it?  Freaken amaizing, it's better than 104
unleaded race fuel.  The motor runs cooler, egt's are cooler and it
smells good
too:)  Since I have a standalone 034EFI IIC I have the map selector
switch hooked up that allows you to switch between ECU maps.  I have one
for 91 octane and one for E85 so I can use regular gas in a pinch.
