Hmmm...I'm intrigued. I'll be investigating that stuff - you could for sure get it in the tank no sweat. Where to place and plumb in, that will be what I need to figure out.

I live in sugar land, e85 is cheap and readily available for sure:) Not sure it makes the humidity, mosquitos and traffic worth it, but the corn juice is always available.

I run 17x9s and get a ton of rubber streaks and dots there after track days, so I'd bet that is the case - the fronts throwing things at that panel while turning.
