you should not run e85 on that setup.

if you where boosted, yes, but you would need bigger injectors, fuel pump, and replace your lines so the E85 dose not caroad them away.


any reason that you are looking at swapping to e85?

just got done with the swap and still runnning with gas i had left in the car which i believe it was 92 octane (premium) , and o yea also gotta 225 walbro fuel pump..any reasons why e85 is better. what i heard was "because it contains oxygen. C2-H5-O-H is the molecular formula for ethonal."
