75lb ers are a good start, might need bigger. i would guess you will also need a bigger pump or another one. nothing special. look it up on them instanets, lots of info to read.. the main misconseption there is is that it is majorly corrosive or harmfull on parts which is incorrect when compared to methanol.


edit: good site here http://www.change2e85.com/servlet/Page?template=Myths

FWIW, the Corvette Racing GT1 car made 50 more hp with E85 than with 94 octane pump gas. That is why they switched when the LeMans series started to restrict there intake size. The GT2 car is also an E85 car.

They were just a tad over 600 hp with E85...Pratt and Miller were at our local club meeting last night

We tune on E85 here with some FI cars. We have the terminal that supplies us race fuel supply us a very careful consistent blend of good E85.

We tune with this to max power on a FI car. i.e. 12-12.4:1 AFR on gasoline scale and bring the timing in and make power. Then pull an appropriate amount of timing out for the anticipation of the customer filling up on E70. Then when they get junk fuel they just slow down a bit and end up on the fat side as far as the tune goes, from 10-11:1.
