100 oct = Crap.....not really, but its the bottom of the barrel for race fuel alternatives...
If you want the realist unleaded race gas get MS 109..... at about $10 a gallon....
OR if you want the cheapest most powerful corn fuel....get E-85.... at about $3.50 a gallon...
Trust me

New to San Diego
Howdy!
2003 Evo VIII, Black. Vishnu gear installed at Dyno4mance in Georgia and dyno tuned by Shiv: custom turbo back, EXEDE, adjustable cam gears, sway bar, etc. CF hood, shortie antennae, SSR wheels; that's about it. EXEDE has switchable maps for street and track fuel. Selling my Noble M400, so more
Just arrived from Cincinnati. Still have my snow tires on (which saved my *** in February during the US-8 snowstorm shutdown in Alpine. Sad to see those porsches going sideways.)
Looking for the following;
1. Decent dealer that won't reflash my ECU, just for oil change, wheel changeout (SSRs and performance tires for current stock wheels and snows. BTW, anyone want some stock wheels?)
2 Local shop that understands tuning, upgrades, wacko car enthusiasts.
3. Advice on getting registered...
I've seen a few Evos on the road and I must say it's nice being in good company. While the Evo has been great for all season driving, this climate will be terrific.
Feel free to leave a note or PM.

From the looks of the map E-85 is located in most areas you'd be station at. E-85 has become vary popular in the Evo community. Water-meth kits are becoming obsolete. Andrea and I will be running E-85 on our Evo here shortly.

Here in SoCal we live around a E-85 hub. It is located off of I-15 and El Cajon Blvd. Alhough they do not sell E-85 24/7, their hours of operation are pretty darn good. Here is a list to other E-85 stations in CA:

It's tempting just to do cams, and buy an FP Red as well...Only thing I'd need is big injectors (1,000CC or 1,200 cc?) and that should do it

1000cc injectors and a Walbro 255 are sufficient for a stock turbo on E-85. I am not sure what the duty cycle would be like with an FP Red. Our duty cycle right now (with 1000cc injectors) is 55% on 91 octane. Plenty of room available for the E-85 tune. Now, once we have an E-85 tune we'll look at the duty cycle and then make a decision as to whether we'll need larger injectors if we go with a Red. Great thing about having an AEM EMS now is fuel injector changes are a piece of cake!
