Default I'm thinking of selling E85?

I am about to make another purchase of race fuel and was thinking about E85. I want to know from you guys would you buy it.

I have been researching this for the past 2 years and I think it is great on many levels besides HP.

Guys I need your feed back.

Thanks

I would love to build an e85 tuned engine. I have most plans drawn up, it's just then that it would be my only car until I graduate and filling it up w/ a 35 gallon barell and a siphon in my garage is pretty, uh....impractical lol.

Maybe you can start a trend.

there seems to be gains that can be made off of it.
My car runs on booze now (e85)

its just not practical for people that are not around you to use it.

A car tuned to run e85 - e100 can show massive gains. Ethanol doesn't detonate or pre ignite, static compression can be raised to over 13:1, it has a linear fuel curve compared to tuning for gasoline, timing can be advanced crazy degrees w/ no pinging issues. Basically if you were to setup and tune a turbo car to run just e85 you could boost it until the block blew apart before detonation became an issue. In short lol
