Running racefuel / ethanol ? VP, Shell URT etc.
Hey Guys,
I've been running race fuel the last couple of times i went to the track.
It was a custom mixture from VP, 110 Octane Unleaded.
Was running it because of the 100 shot nitrous kit. Minor adjustments to my Brenspeed email nitrous tune and the car ran great. Car ran consistent with a best of 12.08 in the 1/4 .
I've been wanting to try Shell URT100. Someone mentioned it had ethanol in it.
Do i need to make adjustments to any hardware to be able to run this?
I've always wanted to know what changes i would need to make to run regular e85.
Does anyone have any info on this?

For the URT100 you should only need a tune adjustment.
E85 requires more fuel, about 30%, so you'll need bigger pump and larger injectors. Of course a tune adjustment as well.
you'll likely pick up power as well
