Yet my car could run through 12 gallons in less than 60 miles and I would run out of fuel and hit limp mode on a 4th gear pull. Yet that would get me to about 130 mph really really fast before it went into limp mode. Example I smoked a modified 6.0 liter pontiac top end or up to limp mode.

The stuff is just like race fuel when tuned, but it goes like race fuel too! You will have to fill up more than you do, but it does cost less at the pump.

A lot of people run a mix half 93 and half E-85 and call it E-47 I think the best of both worlds. Still need to be tuned for it. This keeps the fuel limits more in check.

But FI, right? Not NA...?

Yes FI

Also all this talk of problems with e-85 on the fuel system is incorrect. If you are buying fuel now you are using 10% ethanol. And they are currently in talks to take it up to 15%. So we are already using ethanol in the fuel system.

Using E85 is just like using race fuel at 1/10 th the cost, but you have to tune and have bigger injectors.

do you only need a tune and bigger injectors? Or do you also need a bigger fuel pump for the Z? and would if be worth it to do if i only have gen 3 cai and test pipes?
