Default E85 in a tC..

So I got my car running on E85 for the last couple of months..man I love it. The car runs better, runs cooler, more power and you can push the limits.
Just like C16 I made 350whp / 350tq on the stock block at 14.5 psi and I can go more I just stopped there.
The car already spins too much tire, when I resolve that issue I will go some more. The car show no knock across the board...that **** is the bomb.

Well stoich for e85 is 9.6:1 so you need 33% more fuel than you do with reg ole 91 octane lol All the dsm and nissan folks say the walhboro pumps hold up just fine with e85 even though the specs dont list it as compatible - im really thinking of going this router - theres 4 or 5 places with e85 here in okc

There is an whole article in import tuner about e85. You might want to take a look at that. I think its there newest issue or last months but yea, since you have e85, I thought you would should know bout that article.

How would rubber return lines take E85 and aftermarket adjustable FPR's?

interesting i did not know about this stuff when i lived in oregon. that stuff was at every single gas station in town. i heard bad things about it from a few of the old timers but i never looked it up myself and i dont usually take peoples words but is there any cons in e85 ? heard it was more corrosive to the internals of the engine but not sure. anyone hear the same ?

i was running a mix of it in my supercharged tc when it cost less than gas in the summer. Will give you a cel for lean mixture if you go over 30% e85/gasoline.
