yes! can't wait to try. i know the evo crowd makes tons of power on e85, but what 4g/4b doesnt these days

ssteve, hah i like how you try and be modest by first not saying what car you had.

i know about them mitsus, make mad power easy on just about anything. throw **** in the gas tank and i bet it will make power hah

props to the guy who did the test on that other gas station, trying to cheat us on with e60!

its like those rumors back in the day about rotten robbie and other small time gas stations mixing water, but i think that was just more rumor than anything

You need to have it tuned by someone who knows how to tune for E85. Other things that are needed are injectors and fuel pump.

There's plenty of people here that are running it now and can give you more info.

Sure it is Al. The Chevron gas station on Commercial is still closer to you than me and I'm gonna go forward with an E85 tune. Also with these others opening up makes it even better.

you can run an e85 tune with stock fueling, but you'll be missing out on alot of power up top since you hit the limits of stock fueling at around 5000rpms or so.

you'll get big torque gains early on tho compared to regular 91.
