Not anyone can just run it. You need to upgrade the fuel system in your car and tune it properly.

RG can get the E85 fuel line and fittings for cheap. Youll want a different E85 rated fuel pump too.   Not sure about the filter needing to be E85 approved though.

Ill be sticking with Shell 92octance and methanol. Only because I have everything to make a good meth system, along with a new walbro 400 gasoline rated pump.
 Im going to wire in a safety pressure switch into the meth lines, and allow the ECU to make adjustments to timing and fuel as necessary in case the meth system fails.   I want the safety to be as quick as possible,   and a loss of pressure, or exceedingly high pressure can be noted by the sensor
 Just a plan at the moment,  but it should work good.

Im going to build a surge tank setup shortly after the car comes together.  Im more concerned about fuel slosh than a bit more power.
I want my car to turn as good as it goes straight.
 
If you guys are looking for the best pump gas without stepping up to E85,  go with Shell 92
Its apparently proven to be more knock resistant than Chevron 94 on RG's dyno.

Look forward to feedback about the pump when you finally get her done.

I ran it for a bit, it over ran my fpr so I switched back to the 255 cause I didn't want to retune. It's really quiet.

Thanks Eddie.  Were you still running a stock FPR with the 255 or was it aftermarket?

Anyone else use the 400?

After having just talked with Tariq at RG last weekend I'm fairly certain it's only the state-side 92 that is more knock resistant. I was told to stick with the chevron 94.
