GM has repeatedly pimped the LFX as an E-85 motor. I would NEVER put that shit in my car, why would anyone? Its crap, power-sucking, engine eating garbage.

E85 is a amazing fuel if you use it correctly. E10 is garbage. But E85 is not. I mean unless you don't want race fuel from the pump for a super cheap price. I run it in all my boosted cars. More boost more timing more power. Yea.... I hate that.

I wanna see the numbers because I think that to say you get all those things from e85 goes against all the other people including my snow bird neighbor who said that crap is ruining cars up in the north east.

It does ruin cars not designed for it. If your car is built and the tune is for it you can run more boost and more timing. Need bigger lines injectors and more pump but your gonna make a ton more power. It burns cleaner and at a lower temp.
