E85

From all I've been able to learn about it, it would be just about perfect for a forced-induction car because the octane is so high, it would be unusual for any detonation to occur, if you're even halfway careful with your boost and spark advance.

Even though it contains less energy per gallon, you can still make a lot more horsepower on a forced induction car using E85 by using more of it (running a lot of boost and spark advance.)

I have a 10-pounds boosted Magnum 360 V8, and would switch to E85 in a New York minute, if I had a source of E85 within a reasonable driving distance. My closest source for E85 is a 70-mile round trip...

But, the first thing on your agenda should be to research a supply. Hopefully, you can get it locally.

I can't:angry7:

I actually have 2 stations with in three miles of my house. i was thinking of doing a stroker motor in my duster that i just bought off a friend of mine but it has a fresh built 360 in it with less then 600 miles on the build, so i was talking with him and his engine builder, who has a street rod that runs on e85, and my friend that i bought the car from is switching his pro street car over to e85, and they said instead of spending the money on astroker just put Paxtons bolt on kit and get the e85 carb and call it a day.
