You run into just as many things with E85, it's not like it's everywhere. Geez, in my area, I have 2 gas stations that have it.

talk about getting stuck in the middle of a road trip without the chance of getting gas.....

What's a good cam choice for meth and the stock IX turbo? Good luck with your rex project. Sounds fun.

Okay, so don't run pure meth.... Run washer solvent then, it will still provide the ability to run a bit more boost

thats what sucks about the E85 is the availability! i was thinking meth at first but then i realized we had a E85 station so i started researching about E85 and it seems to be the safer route of the two

everyone would run E85 if it was in every town!

100% meth is highly corrosive but you could run the boost juice its 49% meth and 51% water....so its not as corrosive but you can't yeild as much of a power gain
