hi mate genuine e85 is only avaible in 2 or 3 places in sydney 2 of which are on the way to work!!!! there are 15 or so caltex eflex servos in sydney but seeing we are in winter it,s more like e70 so i would only use it if desperate seeing i would have an e85 tune!!! my tuner russo performance have just finished an lsx street car twin turbo build with e flex went 1040rwhp thru 6l80e so even the eflex is good stuff!! anyway cheers

Thanks for help will look into airbags monaros are nice but heavy car plus cast iron block etc.Nothings easy looks but it aint good effort always had soft spot for wagons.How much power did you gain going to E85 looks the goods for boosted aplications.
Have good one
