E 85 question?

Could someone explain to me the benefit to running it, and also what I would have to do to run it in my T/C.
Thanks

Higher equivalent octane rating, allowing more spark timing advance, and it also burns cooler, bringing Exhaust Gas Temperature down.

Yes.

You won't be able to run straight E85 at this time though. There is a hardware limitation keeping us (LNF) from being able to inject enough quickly enough (due to naturally needing more for Ethanol to burn evenly). You'll need to run a gasoline-E85 mix. Consult the other threads for ideas on what mixes to use. Currently 50-50 mixes are in favor.
