I am not too sure why you would want to do that. My understanding of E85 is that the emissions are a bit lower but you loose MPG in the process. Not too sure if the power outputs between fuels are the same.

About 215 bucks. But you have to factor in the cost of meth, but its not that expensive.

Also, to get any real power out of it, you need to get a tune.

e85 is just 105 octane rated fuel of gas+alcohol.

If your going to do that just get a meth kit + denatured alcohol and enjoy 130 octane.

or get methanol which i think is 123-125. not like you can take advantage of it.

i gained approximately 10-15 whp with it, and kept ALOT of power up top. It was very noticeable.
