If you think your mileage is bad, just wait until you add boost and E85

LY6. Inconel exhaust valves, square heads, higher capacity OEM exhaust manifolds, etc.

Will need a converter box, and all the regular gen4 swap stuff, or just run a gen4 PCM and custom gauges and AC on an on/off switch lol.

Have you figured the cost per distance for E85 vs 93 octane? $3.35 is 1.683417085427135 times as much as $1.99.
How many times as much E85 as 93 octane is used normally? Gentlemen?

Expect at least a 30% reduction in mileage right off the bat with e85.

A little quick Math,with prices above:

Going on a 100 mile trip

with 93 octane : 10 mpg
with E85 :7 mpg

Fuel used:
93 = 10 gallons
E85 = 14.28

Fuel costs:
93 @ 3.35 = $35.00
E85 @ 1.99= $28.42

Since I have 5 stations within 5 miles of me,for a boosted application,I think it is a good choice. I also have two originals tanks on the truck,one leaks and can't use it,the other is due to be changed,so from tank on out,fuel system is going to be new anyhow.
