Obviously the meth is cooling your intake charge, and temperature will massively depend on boost pressure and comrpessor efficiency

Likewise...and if it ever does come here, it'll cost far more than normal petrol
Although back to the original question. I dont think E85 would offer the same cooling potential as using methanol would

Yes I was running e85 and obviously no meth. With meth it would've been a lot lower.

Hey guys I'm new here. I'm about to do the same thing on my '99 Mustang. Currently has an intercooler making 16psi on E85. But am removing the intercooler to see if the E85 can withstand it being non-intercooled. I can drop 100 lbs of parts and ice water, sell off the intercooler, and make more boost. Sounds like a win-win.

I would like to see some results of E85, no I/C, but adding meth. You could probably set this type of system up with a RPM based meth kit, too. Anytime the motor is over 3500 RPM the meth would kick in and lower the IAT's.
You may see a gain on a single pull with E85 and no IC, but unless it's a track car and it gets time to rest and ice down between pulls it wouldn't be too fun on the street.
Its Alaska man, after shipping it wouldnt be worth it. Plus Id always have to go home to fill up.
Haha! On a 60* day, Im at 60* IATs :p

I already buy a drum of pure E100 and blend it with 93 octane myself to get exactly E85 everytime. I don't trust the gas stations to get it exact.
With the E85, it shouldn't need a hit of methanol spray. But that would be a nice bonus. Or a shot of giggle gas.
