Flex fuel, E-85?
Can this be run in the Z06 or does it require a tune to deal with it?
Are all the fuel line components compatible?
Sorry if this question has been asked before......inquiring mind wants to know...l

I would give Venegence Racing a call, I'm pretty sure they already make a kit to do the switch, I'm going to do the E85 flex fuel kit from them with headers, intake and a pulley with the E85 I think they made like 750rwhp? I can't remember if it's cammed though. Good luck on your journey

Wait!
Wouldn't it be nice if The New GM figures out this car is phenomenal except for all the heat it can make and adds the E85 capacity soon? And then how about if they agreed to bump everyone who wants it at their dealers for a fair price all under the warranty retroactively?
A cold air intake thrown in wouldn't be bad if it had the fuel?
(And then of course......(The broken record!)......!

Hellcat E85 conversion = 753rwhp

Warranty concerns are real for any mods on expensive cars...but for pure power and "cooler running powerplant" E85 is very effective. Manufacturers should get "green points" for Flex Fuel "halo cars" showcasing the benefits of E85 in performance applications.
