Re: forward

Don D. made the statement you could make more hp from E85, just have to build the engine right.

Don't be mislead.  E-85 is NOT 85 octane.  It is more like 105ish.  It is supposed to be 85% ethanol ie: alcohol. There is a disclaimer at the pump that says it's at least 70% min as I recall.  I can feel better performance with my flexfuel engine on E-85 BUT it gets about 20% worse gas mileage.  I would be very interested in an E-85 engine myself for racing but I bet my cruiser mode would prefer the reg stuff to get better mileage.

Those cars  are built to run on E-85. They DO go. I talked to a guy who had never built one of those engines. He claimed that Summit sold him all the needed parts and told him step by step how to build it.  B.S. or truth- I don't know , but his engine  really sounded BAD! ..........Steve

But just think how fast they would go on gas.  Unless they're cheating and are not really flexfuel engines, but engines built to run on ethanol from the git-go.

Found this on line when I started my puter this morning,,,

Ethanol-Powered Muscle Cars Featured at Neb. Races
The drag racing competition in Kearney next month will showcase ethanol-powered muscle cars that are capable of going 180 mph.
The ethanol-powered cars will perform at various times throughout the NHRA Ethanol National Open on the weekend of Oct. 6-7.
The ethanol cars are street-legal vehicles running on E85 fuel. Kearney Raceway's Grady Koch says he believes fans will be impressed with the way the muscle cars perform on ethanol.
The competition begins at 1 p.m. each day, and it costs $15 for adult one-day admission. A child ticket costs $5 a day.
The Nebraska Ethanol Board and Nebraska Corn Board are promoting the event to help demonstrate that ethanol is a high-performance fuel.
