Running E85 On My Car Is It Worth It

[scotty nm35]

I've spoken to a few people with 3L RB's and they've had much bigger gains on E85 due to the higher compression of the 3L. One bloke was telling me how the 26 doesnt have as high compression as the SR's or the RB30. so therefore the 26 can't take as much advantage of the knock resistance of the fuel.

I've had minimal top end gains in my GTR going to E85, only really made gains in the midrange. but i did get it tuned on a hot day and it still made good power. the STD intercooler is probably holding me back.

Am getting it tuned this Thursday, hopefully it will be a little cooler and get some better figures. the tuner tuned it on the richer side just in case it leaned out too much in colder weather.

So hopefully with a cooler day and leaner AFR's i can get a little more out of the car?

If you tune rich there wont be much in the way of gains, my 8.5:1 low compression engine made 50awkw more on e85 with similar boost so your tune is way too safe.
