For you guys on e85 what is the difference in consumption for a weekly show. I'm on gas now and a 10 lap heat and 20 lap feature I burn about 10 gallons. What would the consumption be on e85. Also do you have to change jets as often as you do with alcohol?

Is there any hp gains running e85
for me I am in the limited modified class.
2bbl 10.0 -1 355 engine class
If so what changes do I need to do to run it. Been hearing alot about this lately and wanted to know more about it.

Works great with the right equipment, and you'll want to check your fuel if you're not mixing your own.

From the gas station, 84-87% tested with the test kit.
