The only practical application for E85. I got my car to run it. Not because it has environmental benefits or help ween us off foreign oil because it doesn't and it won't, but this:
91 octane gasoline  E85  Who knew that in an attempt to save the environment, they created street legal race fuel. Anyways, the dyno reads a little low, plus 6000ft elevation robs the power. A 2006 Z06 Corvette(505hp says Chevrolet) puts down 406 wheel hosepower on this particular dyno. -------------------- Beers that I have had, updated July 5th, 2009: 1,548

QUOTE (chook @ Apr 2 2009, 08:07 PM)  doesn't e85 have really high compressability? I don't see how it could .... even %10 ethanol Colorado fuel fucks up my 13.7:1 head on my carbuerated sled, and it doesn't do my 14:1 EFI sled any favors either, and my pickup truck sure feels weaker with a full tank of %10 .... I don't see how E85 would be better, it's effectivley lowering that ability of your motor to operate at a compression ratio higher than about 8:1 ... I have to mix %20 113 octane race gas with my carb'd sled if I run %10 ethanol fuel in it .... E85 sounds like an ickynightmare to me. -------------------- I r Ur Gawd!
