I find this hard to believe but I wanted to pose the question and see if there are any fuel experts who can back this up.

The next question would be if this is true is there an application for the Z. I like more octane and cleaner burn. I'm an N/A guy at the moment and anything I can do to shave off crap and replace it with good stuff I'm all for that.

Any ideas?

Just get 1200cc injectors, walburro 255 and retune for E85.

That's all you really need to run E85. Some will recommend upgrading fuel lines and such but it isn't needed unless you let the car sit for months without driving it around.(even if you upgraded fuel lines, E85 will still eat away at them if left to sit for a while)
