Where did that info come from? Everything I have seen says LESS power. My mothers Pontiac van gets 9 mpg LESS using e85.erick said:It can be done. You just have to jet the engine so it will get 30% more fuel at every throttle position and RPM.
You would also need to check that it will not damage any of the carburetor or fuel pump components.
It will have [highlight=yellow]slightly more power[/highlight=yellow] but the cost of the extra ethanol will not offset the the power gained.
There may come a time when we have to run it but until then I would stay away from it.
It works good but you get crappy fuel mileage,not that you get good fuel mileage to begin with on a boosted sled.tison1200 said:I can see it working great in a Boosted Mountain sled
