I’ve been running it since last fall. You’ll need a tune and maybe injectors. I don’t know if you’ll see any HP gains being N/A. You’ll get worse gas mileage, but if E85 cheap enough it might be worth it?

Can you run it without a tune? I'm thinking you could for putting around town but it would run lean and you would have to keep your foot out of it.

is the car on spray or turbo? supercharged. e85 is a awsome power adder fuel. for just a small hp motor unless your just wanting the motor to stay clean for a long time its usless.
anything power adder i love the stuff. 2 of my cars are on it one with a 355 and a 225 shot in a 89 blazer and the other is my turbo s10 going 8s on pump e85. shooting for a 7 this season. never a single parts failure or evan a bad plug. hell i ran the same set last season.
