E85 is a good thing as long as you can get it, I run it all the time. Once i got it in my car i have not changed it back to gas yet.
LOl flames are fun sometimes I do it at the light and people freak out they blow the red light cause they get scared....As far as getting it there's stations everywhere around me that have it..What turbo are you using aron??

27PSI but like i said i like to be safe with my car. i have the same setup (or pretty close) as my friend and he put down 542WHP and 460WTQ but the guys at English racing was worried about his pistons and rods letting go so i told them to stop where they felt it was safe so they stopped where i am now. i really want to do the bottom end but convincing the wife i NEED this is allot harder to do!

Ah ok.

I guess in that case those upgrading to E85, it would be wise to change the pump filter and fuel filter.

Yeppers and check the injectors periodically...I'm no expert on e85...I'd go over to the Alt Fuel forum and get better advice there from folks running e85 (e.g. Bryan from GST)...
