    Would E85 benefit at all with a top end lube added?

      might help a little with cylinder wear , but I dont think it would be worth the trouble ....

        Brad,
        What have you discovered with E85 that is stored in a plastic 55 gal drum? I hear there's a pricy nitrogen deal that should be used to remove moisture? I switched to E85 this year because I only race 5/6 times a year. (Got sick of getting my ass kicked on re-starts).
        Also, this fuel smells like ass! what's the harm in adding a cap full of scented fuel juice to the cell? (Bubble gum, cotton candy ect). I hear that's considered an "additive" in tech?
        Thanks mister,,,,,,

            What kind of fuel pressure do you run on E 85 ? The same as gas?

              Fuel pressure is more related to the needle and seat size than the fuel type. You should get that info from your carb builder

                E85 requires more fuel volume, not necessarily pressure (which means the restrictions in the fuel system have to be changed) - unless you are running a super bowl, then pressure is a big deal.
