The benifit to using alcohol comes from being able to use a higher compression. You wouldn't have that with a 604.Quote:

I know a lot of guys are seeing significant gains with E-85. Obviously you have to have the right carb and you'll need to be careful to make sure you are REALLY getting E-85 or your could end up with some serious problems.
bill hendren said that good e-85 would make as good of "peek" numbers as rattman crate fuel,..the rest of the curve was off significantly...and he liked the rattman crate juice the best outta all the fuels he dyno'd!Quote:
