Re: E85

Re: E85
I forgot about the temperatures, mine too runs about 10 deg cooler, a little harder to get it up to 160 compaired to gas.
I havent done much in the way of tuning and testing, but reading you guys, I will be playing with jets soon.

Re: E85
I found starting my burnout at 160 works most consistently . I was starting at 140 and forgot to turn fan on so I continued to start at 160 for the rest of the race and liked it better.

I was thinking about E85 earlier this year,but I had 2 drums of C14 to use up so it kind of went on the back burner.

Re: E85
My lobe separation is 114 . I love paying $3.50 a gallon and only using slightly more fuel . 15-20% more.

Re: E85
Both VP and Sunoco offer E85 race fuels.
Check with Jeff Stricker at Roadrunner Race Fuels. He's located right near Maple Grove.

Re: E85
Been running E85 for over a year now and had some experience with it. Had some carb problems until I got hooked up with Mark Sullens, he is the best, you can go to his website and get some valuable information on what temp to stage and tuning. E85 does not vaperize till 165 degrees, so you need to be that before you stage. There is alot more to it than just bolting on a E85 converted carb. most agree you don't need to run over 7 pounds of fuel pressure. I buy E85 locally, just be sure and check it with a tester so you know what you are getting. My local station changes content from E85 summer to E75 winter blend. I will buy enough to fill my 55 gallon drum in the summer when they have the true E85.
