Default High Compression Turbo Motor E85 or 93+ 100% Meth?
I have a 11:8:1 forged 347. Do you guy think E85 is better in that application or 93+100% meth? Car will see about 2, 000 street miles a year and 20-30 track passes.

In lots of cases for higher compression motors the higher the octane the better.

From what I have read before its like this.

High compression+High octane= Better Performance.

e85 plus methanol will give best results.

IMO that would be the route I would do also^ You should be good at 110 octane or higher.

I would go the E85 route if you have it readily available.

If you want to use E85+meth also then go 50/50 meth/water.

E85 is common here. So no problems with that. I guess its time to pony up for a bigger fuel system.

E85 since you wont be driving it all that much. I am sticking with 93+meth because i see 99% street miles and E85 is hard as hell to get around Maryland.
