Gains from E85 (ethanol) on an N/A bolt on 370Z

1cleanZ

E85 gaining MPG's over unleaded? If you convert a car from a standard fuel system from running Unleaded to Corn, your MPG's will go DOWN due to more fuel being consumed.

This isn't a result of being boosted. If you take a TT 370z and take the MPG readings, and THEN convert to E85 (just as Blake did), your MPG's will indeed decrease.

Will E85 make more power? YES, why???? Ignition point = It means you can run a few degrees more timing (all in the tune)
E85 ignights at 365 degrees
93 Octane Ignites at 280 degrees

Theory and practice are not always the same thing. When I go through a tank of fuel and do a manual calculation at the pump, we'll know for sure.

I clearly demonstrated E85 making power with absolutely zero timing map changes. I've seen this on every N/A car I've converted to E85.

In fact simply stating the fuel allows you to possibly run more timing to make more power is nothing more than an assumption. In many cases I've had N/A motors that want zero timing map changes on the fuel over the pump gas map.
