Most cars are still street cars so it's not easy finding c16 to fill up on at just any gas station if you are on a road trip. It's hard to find E85 here as well.

That's why you buy your 55 gallon drums and fill up as you please :P.

I have like 350 gallons here at home and more at the shop.

I don't know anyone else who has close to the mileage I do on a 1000+rwhp setup, and for 18k miles ran 91+meth with zero issues. Even now car is just flex fuel and I fill up with whatever is close. Makes the same power on e85 or 91.

I run 87+meth on my 5th gen because I can't get any better gas and I'm not going to run c16 for a turd with only 6xx whp, so I do understand your point, but still think big builds should go c16 or e85 exclusively.

You are by far the exception with your car holding up, but i've seen way too many big builds succumb to bad gas.

Completely agree, but I maintain my meth system, test it, have fail safes, and tune it stupid safe.

Once I went flex fuel I felt dumb for not doing it earlier.

If I could get E85 where I'm from my god I would be the happiest man alive, but gotta live with C16 for now and I have to have it shipped overseas so I'm paying almost $1,000 per 55gal drum at wholesale.

Straight C-16 only here... If I have to go over a hundred miles total trip the car goes on a trailer... A hundred miles is about all I get from a tank full... No stations sell C-16 either that I've ever seen..

1281whp here on 93 and 13000 miles later all is good. Havent blown up yet. I do run meth and Torco for an in tank octane of 96. Same tuner as you btw.

Damn that was a long read! Congrats on winning the car, thats a big chunk of change you saved for mods!! Also sounds like the real-estate business is doing well in Chicago, Let me know if you ever need an architect;D In all honesty pushing the 1000hp is fantastic but def make sure you push the support mods for it as well, maybe some Gforce axles built for that kind of power and a new aluminum driveshaft from DSS. I know is said you bought a new transmission for it so thats good thinking.

DaFisch · 03-04-2016, 01:46 PM

i'm running 93 and 385, and Sprayed you aren't ignored. thanks.

DaFisch · 03-04-2016, 01:47 PM

arken I have dss axles and an alum driveshaft from driveshaft shop. all supporting suspension and drivetrain mods have been done
