99 GT vert

fill me in on details to the fuel system needed to run e85

No, lol. I'm not that fancy... yet. It's a more narrow 8.8" solid out of a Fox Body. I'm just throwing in my Tru Trac Differential, my 3.73 gears, and a new set of 31 spline Moser Axles. My current rear end was out of a 2001 GT, and is too wide from my rim/tire combo.

Yes, e85 can support a lot more boost and timing than pump gas, without detonation. Also, it keeps cylinder temperatures MUCH lower, something like 200 degrees lower, and can increase the longevity of your engine.

I've been reading about the big octane numbers with the E85 fuel!

i heard it can tank MPG just straight swapping to it from normal gas, but if you tune for it and put effort into it it's worth it.
i mean it's pretty much 85% alcohol like a dragster uses.
i wish we had it up here, how much do you pay a gallon for it?

Yes E-85 is good except, its expensive (also its not being subsidized anymore from what I have heard), you cant hardly get it and youll use about 30% more of it.

Good news - when we are all on electric space cars, corn syrup will still be around

E-85 is $2.49 per gallon around here.... Reg. unleaded is $2.80 /gallon

Fobra

Wow.. it hasnt gone up as much as I thought.

$2.30 a gallon over here in AZ. E85 is 109 octane

Fobra

Sweetness, you have to order it by the barrel round these parts. But you are correct, the price per is much more reasonable than I thought.

Okay, so as mentioned, the rear end will be going in on Friday, along with the new struts. Then next week the Boost A Spark will be installed and the 23 psi/e85 tune will be done.

Here is how my car sits right now though:
