e85 is much higher octane equivalent than 93 octane pump gas. Think of it like really cheap race gas. Lots of people are running e85 setups right now on modified cars like evo's 300zx's and lots of others. The only trouble is, that it burns about 33%% (i think) faster than normal gasoline. So, as a result, you need to accommodate for that with larger injectors, and typically a dual fuel pump system. But, if your car is e85 ready, you can go to your nearest e85 station and essentially fill up with a full tank of race gas for less than 40 dollars, as opposed to 150 dollars for race gas. Talk to sam about it, i'm sure he knows a lot more about it than i do, and whether or not it would be practical, or doable for your application, as well as how much it'd cost you.

BTW i believe there are some dual pump setups that only run 1 pump most of the time, then have a supplemental pump that comes on when necessary, so you aren't running 2 pumps simultaneously all the time.

Im curious to see what sam says. I think you'd be the first 370z with an e85 setup though
