e85 or m1?

after running into snags with cage building and losing pretty much all the stock wiring and the factory gas tank... my car will pretty much be a dragood car that see very, very minimal street driving(if at all).

which brings me to my next thought of running m1 for fuel instead of e85. I'm really at a crossroad for this!!!

I have an 8 gallon fuel cell and will be running a prostar 750 pump. if I go with ma1 I will add a second pump or go belt drive.

I already have the fuel cell, Bosch 210lb injectors(rated at 43.5) and pre existing teflon 8an feed/ return lines. so going with meth I will need to run a bigger feed/return and a set of Moran 500lb injectors which are about 2500 a set.

what are the thoughts on this? looking to make some mid 8 second passes!

Hmmm, think I would stick with the ethanol but go with E98 for insurance.

What does your tuner say?

don't know. it's whatever I decide at the end of the day...

a pro would be I wouldn't need an intercooler, saving weight and fab costs, the con would be I really wouldn't be able to drive anywhere on the street without having a bigger cell.

I'll talk with the guy doing the fab works and see what he thinks as he hasn't started the turbo kit fabbing yet...

Let me expand on my M1 post. Methanol and ethanol are pretty different and dont tune the same.
Methanol is roughly 6.5:1 a/f
Ethanol is roughly 9:1 a/f

you're good man. I know stoich is different between the 2 fuels. the guy building the car shot me down at the idea of it. for my et/hp goals it's not needed
