I run 100% e85 with 74lb injectors and dual 255's. With meth, I'm good to to about 10 psi, with 3 m5 meth nozzles I'm good to about 14 psi at 115% duty cycle. If only I could get traction, lol.

When I started my truck on E85 cold it sounded like a blown alcohol dragster for the first couple minutes lol

I always wanted to try E85 when i had the turbo but never had enough time to go get it and spend time tuning for it.

Wish we had e85 in our area. Might have to buy a drum one day and do some TNT.

If your fuel system will support it, a truck making big power and higher boost like yours would really love it. Those bogarts and some corn juice would probably get you deep in the 9's then!

I would think the whole mixing thing would be better for guys that tune their own vehicles as the % of e85 and 93 will not be the same every single time.

Lots of stations between Livermore and Sac. Only one around Fresno is over in Tulare, so the Central Valley is underserved.
