its 105 octane. 320whp is the limit on 93, 600whp is about the limit on e85. It costs nothing other than a tune. I ship it and store it in 55 gallon drums its so amazing.

on a naturally aspirated stock car E85 (with tune) worth about 20hp but economy will be about 25% worse. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=67310 Last edited by steve99; 07-07-2014 at 04:47 AM. |

Main benefit is much higher chance of a getting a new engine sooner than you expected!
Seriously though E85 is extradonarily variable in quality year round and sometimes even from each delivery, it is not a safe fuel to be pushing the car on. Like anything else in life you get what you pay for and E85 is a gamble because real power never comes cheap. PLenty of people use it successfully and plenty of people will get a bad fill and break things. The octane may be as high as race gas but the quality and consistency of the fuel is incomparable.

Notice the change in uoa results in the WRX trend in the bitog link. -Dennis |

Would like to know how the tuners properly adjust the tables based on those readings while mainting the maximum power and safety levels.
I just don't trust E85 back when I was making big power on built wrx with lots of turbo, every well known tuner I talked to said they would not go near E85 on any car they wanted in 1 piece and that if you wanted the performance race gas was the way to go.
