E85 blow through carb

I was interested in doing this, but I've been advised against it by aedperformance. They said there just hasnt been enough R&D on it, and since it is somewhere in between meth and gas, neither carb will really work well. Also said that E85 is not regulated at all, which causes tuning problems.......so I guess its back to gas.

So here is a question, could I inject E85/water instead of meth?

Does meth provide better cooling than ethanol?

Re: E85 blow through carb

funny cuz all the turbo guys are going nuts. check out turbobuick.com they have TONS of different chips/timing/fuel tables out there for it. it's not regulated on octane, sometime it'll be 106, sometimes 111 but if you're not on the ragged edge you'll be fine. Call quick fuel carbs and they'll set you up no problem for the carb parts.
