See I have a street car! So any car that runs meth is a race car as I've never seen M1 at the pump. I've never seen boostane at the pump either...

Lol there you go! I've run WWF and HEET so you can run meth, just not as good as M1

Nope no special fuels, pump only! I dont want hassle of walking in a store. Just pull up, fuel up, and drive off! I dont want to worry about another tank running low, pump working, adding some percentage of additives, etc. Sounds too much like race car problems!

Good call WWF only! Now if only there was an E85 station nearby...

Doesn't matter that's the beauty of having a sensor and not relying on additives! Can fill up with 93, E10, E50, E85, E90 and drive off! With over 4,800 E85 stations in the US and more going up everyday, its not exactly a hard to find fuel... even Cali has 150+ stations. I think Maine and New Hampshire are the only two states truly without E85 somewhat nearby.

I think the point is that some don't want a flex fuel setup to use it once in a blue moon. Hell I'd use nitrous more than that.

let me see how this would play out.

wife/kids: where to?

me: o a state where e85 is readily available.

wife/kids: what is that?

me: a fuel for my car that allows me to run more timing and make about 50-70 more HP.

wife/kids: (you fill in the blanks).


yea. That sounds about as stupid as someone on here suggesting this asinine idea. People. Lol.
You don't need that kind of negativity in your life, if your family won't move so you can enjoy your hobby a little more.

You cant even buy actual E85 at most pumps also so....does that disqualify it also?

Our boost version is on a 110lsa just like the std Hot Cam. So 114+4. I like it early. That goes for more than just icl too ;-)
And we keep em on the shelf.

If your drivers seat smells like cheetos, spilled dr pepper and 15+ years of taco bell farts, its not a race car.

Hey hey now. Nitrous is for those who are too cheap to go boosted. They'd rather spend their money a paper cut, err bottle fill, at a time

No idea, don’t get off on putting stuff out there. I hardly ever video anything and I’m not on social media. Sometimes friends grab pics or video and it goes around Instagram I’ve heard. Rather build and tune stuff instead of take pics I guess.

if you have a spool, it’s a race car.
