E85 - made from corn 85% ethanol, higher octane suppresses knock. some places hard to find too.
Methanol - usually mixed with water raises octane, cools cylinder temps. also suppresses knock. easily found at race shops.

On their own, they don't do much of anything. Actually on its own, the car won't even run on E85. They're both things used in conjunction with a tune to help increase power.

E85>Meth
I have had both and this is my conclusion. Meth was great and all for IATs and such but I have seen a pump failure and clogged line blow two motors on meth. E85 is E85 yes they have different blends dependiong on the time of year but that is not enough of a change to not be able to run the same fueling and timing and damage the motor, from what I have seen, if you run 100% and damage the motor on one WOT pull.

For those of you who have had pumps died/clogs, what would you do to remedy this or prevent. Any telltale signs, I'd like to get rid of my spare tire and put in a meth kit but I never even thought about the risk of that.
