I thought i heard a screaming from up north. It must have been your head gaskets. :lolsign: I keep seeing people running it with success but id be afriad to do it without 60+ injectors and a complete fuel system that is ok to run E85 with. And its kind of hard to find. <_< What pulley is that on ron?
you're really not going to save $$. you'll go through E85 faster. It has a higher octane rating, but less power. couple that with the fact that most places in chicagoland only have it priced maybe 10-12 cents cheaper per gallon, and the only real gains you might see would be performance, if you keep the tune right.
Are you watching EGT's? I guess with everything else you are looking at, like A/F and knock, EGT should be in-line.
I'd liked to convert to E85, but I don't have the time to tune, tune, tune. I'd worry about high EGT's melting the catalytic converter. Besides the tune and injectors, what else is needed?
FYI, Gas City's carry E85 and right now it's running 50 cents less than regular. Add 30% to the price (due the loss in fuel economy) and it costs more than premium, but is much higher in octane. E85 only makes sense if you take advantage of the octane.
