Ok I’ve gotta ask as I haven’t really heard about e85 until I started reading here mostly. What is the benefit of it? What it’s the point really? Is it a supercharged thing only?

the alcohol content of it E85 is 85% Ethanol(or should be) compared to 10% on pump...almost a race fuel. Burns cooler, more power...like using meth....not needed unless boosted.

So it’s mostly for booster cars? Kinda thought that was the case. But ty that kinda sums it up a little better. Not sure I can even get e85 around where I live

You can't be any more vague, can you? What do you want us to ASSUME
you have? You did not specify what Year car, motor, nothing, so all you're
going to get are guesses, BECAUSE:

If you happen to have a V6, LLT motor, there is no E85 Kit. They start with
the LFX for V6 engine. SINCE you specified absolutely nothing.

Reading is fundamental. He states he has a SS.

AGP Turbo sells one with their fuel system but I don't see it listed separately, you may want to contact them.

Get an Alky-Control flex fuel kit. If you need Julio's number, I can get it for you.

But before you make any decisions, you better have a tuner lined up that can take full advantage of the fuel.

For those that say it is only for boosted cars, bullshit. I know many cars running corn for racing and pump on the streets.

For n/a setup e85 shows real benefits at 12.5 compression and up. For 12.0 compression and lower a good 93 fuel should not limit your spark advance.

F/I setups it helps at any boost level
