Gusagain is infamous around these parts
Great work on an alternative fuel for you turbo peeps.

Not to trying to rain on anybodies parade but the fuel lines are larger to consume more of this E85? Sort of offsets the price when you are consuming more fuel, no?
Also, are we as a planet ready to go to E85? Wouldn't we need to get rid of our forests in order to provide more acreage to grow the amount of corn needed to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels?

The list goes on and on about the pros and cons of biofuels, I am not trying to start a huge debate. Just merely pointing out some facts

Absolutely fricking awesome.
I had talked to both Todd Knighton and Tym Switzer about this and they said
it was very doable. Congrats !!!! neat stuff!
E85 is about $1.45 here in the Corn belt.

30% more fuel @ $1.69 a gallon = $2.19 in comparison to $8-10 gallon for the same or less performance on MS109. Still a bargain in my books.

Yes, but you have to factor the up front cost of injectors, fuel lines, fuel pump(s) as well as tuning. Dont get me wrong, it's a great idea as long it's compatible with regular pump gas when e85 isnt available.

Well I just added a Flux Capistor (spelling?).. I owe thanks to this guy because you've never hauled so much *** you and up standing next to a T-Rex after a 1/4 mile pass.
