For those who are using E85 could you please describe your set up (pump,carb,line size,bypasses,regulators,compession ratio,engine RPM & avg coolent temp after a race) Considering this set up due to gas @ $7.50 gal & alky being hard on top end.

Thanks

This guy is awesome.Done two for me and heck of a guy to talk to.Would definately reccomend. 4412, 14:1, 185 deg, 65-6800, piston pump with regualtor, -8 line. Not corosive. Can use stock pump if need be but GPM are low and may cause temp issues. Call him Well worth it. JMO

JDR 750 E-85 carb, -8 line, 6 valve pump because a gas pump will fail after time (trust me), bypass with return. Have ran from 10:1 to 13:1, never a problem. No lazy bottom end like some people have with other stuff. It does run a little bit cooler than gas and makes a lot more power.

What is the fuel consumption compared to price with alky is cheaper then gas and you burn alot more in a night so at the end of the night price is only a few dollars different. So if i burn 13 gal alky and 7 gal gas in a feature what is the avg e85 would be burned.

Most people buy it from the pump at a gas station and it's fine as long as you test it. There are also some fuel dealers blending it out of race gas and E98. It might be a little bit better, costs a little bit more.
