Wrong, if he has a conservative tune then yes he will be saving some money. Most of use that use E85 use it as a race fuel cause of the octane level. Plus you have to keep in mind the bigger fuel pump and injectors that are USUALLY needed. Thats why some people see MPG drop. If i granny drive my Evo and stay out of boost I see next to no difference in MPG with my setup.

whats the deal with the injectors i run 90lb injectors on my twin turbo 5.0 which should equate to about 900 cc (lbs/hr X 10.5 = cc/min.) puts down 980hp or so and we are upgrading to 1000cc? i dont wanna get into the weeds about this but more what if any are people seeing benefit wise to 93 other than performance. but it seems most people only do for performances.

yea im finding tons of info and i wanted to poll people about what they are getting and what they are using it for. im not wanting to go stupid! im look for 350 wtq i could care less about hp number to much because the sst with stock clutches are the key to me. also im look at of course fuel pump maybe that dw 300lph and 850cc injectors. i dont think 1000 cc injectors are necessary for us sst guys seems like way more injector that u could ever use unless u go upgrade clutches for road racing or dog off the line solution for the drag guys.

To run E85 you need at minimum the following:
- Walbro pump (with mounting kit, hoses and filter)
- DW 800 CC injectors
- Tune
Seeing you are in Texas, I recommend you go pay Cobb a visit in Plano. They can do all the installation and tuning for you and I can gaurantee that you will be very happy.
Or, if you are DIY inclined, do all the intstallation yourself and run with an Accessport Off The Shelf map (OTS map) for the Tune part.

gained 25 WHP and 60 WTQ
In my opinion pros and cons are below.
Positive- great power
Very clean
Much cheaper
Negative- Loss in fuel miles
Hard to find

well i would have to have my car tuned with 93 and e85 and keep all the maps with me at all time. i travel and drive my cars alot. and there are places i go that i cant get e85 so swapping maps is a must. texas there are several places that have it so im pretty good until i travel out a ways from the major cities. but i think my plans are gonna keep me safe.

yea my s14 has this with my fcon i just want to see how people are doing it with the evo
heres a couple pics of the s14
also im assuming from all my research the power comander and the accessport are very very similar. except of course the fcon is a standalone ecu.
