So e85 is actually available at the pump? Never seen it....what's the advantage for a normal passenger vehicle? Fill up twice per week instead of once?

14 apache, don't you really need the higher compression ratio when running alcohol to compensate for the loss in fuel energy? I understand there is advantage when running modified engines for drag racing etc, but I just meant being available at the pump for a daily driver.

been racing/running E85 for years now, in a low compression, non boosted deal, no reason to use it in my opinion, now with high compression 12-1+ or boosted the stuff is great. I run 25psi+ in a LS engine no IC @1200hp right out of the pump, but yes you will burn about 40% more.

Apache are you looking at running closed loop?

sounds kinda tricky to try that in a boat open loop.

How about 13to1 compression out of pump gas.

Just an FYI, Boostane works with E85....if you have any questions just give Dave W a call.
