do you have enough fuel system for e85?... it's cheap and from what I've gathered it makes more power than the expensive race fuels

Pros: It burns clean and you can make good power on it.

Cons: It has a higher cost so I wouldn't want to be cruising around with it in the tank or driving to and from the track.

Do you have a methanol injection system?

I put 5 gallons of MS109 in with 3/8 tank 93 octane. I only did it because I am troubleshooting KR with the new engine and wanted to see if the knock was real or false.

At $10/gallon for MS109, I will continue forward with my original plans of E85 conversion ($1.77/gallon) once I get this new engine dialed in.

I live about 30 minutes from Cresson, where the Texaco at the entrance to Motorsports Ranch has VP racing fuels at the pump. They had MS109, and 2 others (1 leaded, 1 unleaded).
