E85 Powered VR4?

[a2j]

my mods are in my sig.

I don't have wide band yet. I know lots of people don't have one and running bigger injectors. and I still need 4 more injectors, so for right now I'm just collecting info.

just have one question where do you get e-85 in texas and also if you have to add 25-30% more fuel how is that saving moneies. you are really getting less mpg correct?

its not about saving money. its about the octane.

you still save money compared to $7+ gallon race gas.

i think ill stick to meth. race gas when really needed at 6 per gallon.

meth at 50/50 mix is about a 20% octane increase. so that makes 93 = c16

A 50/50 mix of water/meth will increase your base fuel octane by about 25%.
So 93 would be about 116 or same as C16 like you mention.

You also get lower IAT, EGT, and it steam cleans out the internal carbon build up. Last time I did my sprak plugs on the VR-4, the internals of the lower intake were cleaner then the outside.
