E85 OR STRAIT ETHONAL?

[redsled]

IS ANYBODY RUNNING THIER SRT-10 VIPER RAM ON ETHANAL OR E85? I WOULD LOVE TO CONVERT IF NOT TOO MUCH TROUBLE. AT 800+ H.P., I AM CONSIDERED A GROSS POLUTER. PLEASE SENT ME SOME INPUT. THANKS, HOPE TO RACE SOME OF YOU SOON!

Welcome to the site and what state are you in?

Ran straight methanol in a drag bike at one time...I'm sure you will get some feedback.

THANKS, MY NAME IS CARL AND I LIVE IN SANTA CLARITA. ETHANAL IS HIGH OCTANE BUT 25 PERCENT LESS POWER THAN GASOLONE. LARGER INJECTORS OR A LONGER INJECTION PULSE SHOULD COMPENSATE. ETHONAL IS CORROSIVE SO I AM WORRIED ABOUT FUEL SYSTEM DAMAGE.

Like he said, less energy and you would have to upgrade the fuel system.

hey I'm in santa clarita too!

if you need the octane, run race gas, or at the very least torco.

Why are you running higher octane fuel? Unless you are tuned (timing) for it, you wont have any benefit from it besides safety factor.
