Default METH INJECTION or E85?????

I got a turbo setup on my 4.8 the truck isnt running yet just waiting on what route to take in fueling... so its either 93 gas + METH or straight E85...

I know alot of ppl say E85 is great on turbos but the bad thing is that theres not to many station here in Houston TX. and the ones that are here aren't on my side of town. I also dont like the fact that u dont get as much fuel economy out of the gas.

Also if i were to do meth injection could i also spray nitrous with it?

I would stick with meth amd 93 octane. It would suck if u ran out of gas and no station nearby had E85

I get around 9mpg on E85 and 12.5 on 93 in the city. I have some E85 stations nearby (Voss and San Felipe at Kroger and at HEB on I10). It feels much stronger on E85, probably 40rwhp difference, and no tank to worry about running out mid-run. You would likely have to run bigger injectors and fuel pump, so it might be just as expensive or more to go E85. Go with Julio at AlkyControl if you do meth.

Talk to Jon at fuel injector connection, he will tell you what lb/hr injectors you will need and give you a great price for them

I've ran meth and now running E85 but it's everywhere around here so I don't any issues finding it. On a long trip I got 10.4 MPG with it.
