Whats your choice?

Why?

Not needed without boost IMO

Will Kravick

That...Didn't answer anything..at all.. for you, lets say theoretically, I am boosted.

However you aren't lol anyways drumrush is right but for the sake of your curiosity, I'd say e85 is best if it's available to you. With the meth you always fun the risk of the pump malfunctioning and causing problems. It could quit working and then you would get knock or it could run all the meth in your tank through at once and cause worse issues.

Will Kravick

I was thinking when I go full bolt on, all down to the T, Id go e85, but i was looking for opinions, its available, cleaner, cheaper, and if i can get a slight more boost from it, i feel its worth it

both?

Will Kravick

Well with 60s can i do pure e85 or will i have to blend?

07cobaltguy

Ok so here's my thing. I ran e85 I made good power on it, however it may be "cheap" but it requires 1.3 units of E85 to equal 1.0 unit of gasoline. That being said for your case your going to waste money, your not going to make anything more significant for power and your going to consume lots more fuel. I was getting 21/22mpg hwy with corn.

Will Kravick

So that 20 extra horsepower from being S/C would make a difference in whether i should use e85 or not?

07cobaltguy

I'm on my phone I can't see your mods. If your boosted then I'd say run corn if you can and the extra cost/consumption isn't an issue for you.

Will Kravick

Im not going to do it yet, definitely not, thats just a waste, im saying when im full bolt on, CAI, Intake manifold, Header, Cat back exhaust, Throttle body and tune, that should push enough power for e85 to make a difference right?

07cobaltguy

E85 doesnt add power. Its higher octane so it burns cooler keeps temps down so you can run more timing and more boost. You dont need it for bolt ons. Your wasting your time.

Will Kravick

Okay, thats why I post on this forum. then ill skip it, should i run 91 oct when I am fully bolted?

07cobaltguy

If you want to you can, thats your choice. I never did.

Will Kravick

Do you think it'd increase horsepower or torque?

07cobaltguy

No. Again, octane has nothing to do with making extra power. If you run 93 you can run more timing. You arent increasing cylinder pressures or adding a ton of extra heat to justify the extra money really.

Will Kravick

Hmm okay. interesting. ill have to do research on octanes and such.

I like how you list spark plugs as a mod.

@ spark plugs

well idk i would go with meth if i could. a) theres no e85 near me and even if i did i would run the risk of not finding it if i was out of town or something

b) meth is something you just gotta keep filled but i THINK it lasts a while depending on how much you tune it to use... that being said i have heard a horror story of it (leaf in the tank causing tons of issues blah blah blah)

i wanna go meth! i'm supercharged and pre-blower, its great for lowering temps which is essential for blowers and also adds power. also it sounds cool! ..methanol injection system, yea..
