Let me say I have been running E85 in my car for almost a year. If you dnt kow what your doing when tuning dont even try to run it in your vehicle. There has been discussions on this before and also on a nother forum was a more in depth one.

They are sleeved as well...

I'll post up a pic of our Ethanol-Diesel truck we built up.

what are the major differeces in the engines that GM uses for e85 and solely gasoline?

what would have to be changed to allow our cars to run safely on ehtonal?

your repsonces to that article i copied makes me what to keep a close eye on the local performance shops ethonal run STI motor.
