E85 w/ forced induction?
E85 w/ forced induction? This fuel is rated for 105 octane.
If I had a alchahol tolerant fuel system, how would this compare to normal race fuel?

Im curious to know as well if this would be a cheap substitute to race fuel.

You will need to update to much larger pump and injectors to supply the fuel needed.
depending on the type of alcohol, stoich AF can be in the 5:1 to 7:1 range and enrichment fuel will be south of 6:1 even with an 85% mix.
It's cheaper alright, but more often than not you need double the volume/mass for the same output. Sure, it's a cooler burning fuel and has a higher knock limit., but you'll go through twice as much.

The IRL is making the switch over the next 2 year from mixed Metanol to Ethanol. by 07 they will be running E100. I'm gonna wait and see how that works and listen to what others have to say before I decide to make the switch or not.

isnt the stoich of E85 something like 9:1 so youll probably be running it around 6:1 and thats alot of fuel. (edit: ya basically what you said)
better get them 160lbers tuned well
the big boys will probably need Two sets
