Bro, you need to search the forum or else you'll get flamed , people here are very helpful when you ask the right questions and show with knowledge the fact that you serched, like racing threads spoon feeding if also frowned upon

I run 1/3 E85 in my 85 with no tuning device, with a tuning device you should be able to run E85, with out a full on tune you should be able to get rid of any cold start issues, without a full tune you will have a rough cold start. If you decide to switch over be sure to replace your fuel filter after the first couple tanks since it will clean the gunk out of the tank and as always the hoses that go with the filter.


there is a lot of misinformation on E85 out there keep in mind the internal combustion engine was originally designed to run E, one of the first mass produced "flex fuel" cars was the model A....

What you will need is 30% bigger injectors, a safc( stand alone fuel controller), a wide band o2 sensor for e85, readings will look weird on a regular wb o2 sensor. I recommend a bigger fuel pump but your not pushing big #'s so you should be fine. E85 is an awesome fuel aslong as you can tune your car. It can make decent power at the expense of gas mileage but then again if you cared about mileage that much you would be on ecomodder and not the org.
