Re: E85????
E85 is ethanol. Not as good as methanol in an alky tank, better than both (meth and petrol) if it's your main fuel.

Probaby not because 15% gasoline would **** your AFR's.
With methananol you know what you got. Alcohol + Gas = :dunno:

Re: E85????
You could but why would you? E85 is basically 85% ethanol and 15% normal gas. The quality of it varies considerably, as Jimmy alluded to.
You could try it but you'd be on your own - everyone else runs methanol - you get better knock prevention, it's easily available and it's predictable. AFRs with meth are common wisdom but timing/AFR and performace with gas and E85 is an unknown in many ways.
Anecdotally, those that have run ethanol have had better success when they run methanol with normal gasoline.
e85 isn't likely to reveal any performance secrets. Up to you! :2cents:

Re: E85????
OK... I'm curious as to what everyone is running for meth. I know that I'm running a 50/50 mix, but others suggest running it straight. Matt was telling me that he's had good experiences with the pumps holding up, but how about the lines? Is it just easier (and better) to run straight meth?

OK, Matt... Looks like as soon as I start tuning for meth, I'm going to run what you recommend.
