Ethanol > race gas

But running E85 will require significant changes to the fuel system, not the least of which is the need to supply more fuel.

But if your at the point that you are using race gas you will probably have injectors and a better fuel pump you can usually get away with stock size fuel lines. Only real issue is the fuel filter cause when you swap to e85 all the crap from your gas tank and line's are going straight to the filter haha... trust me.. injector rehab barely saved them.

Yes, but you're also forgetting that E85 has some unusual corrosive qualities that will damage your stock fuel lines and seals in short order.
Just fair warning if you're planning to go that route.

^ i've heard both sides of that to be honest, it is a rather well debated subject, some say it will others say it won't...

That's quite true but still.... 2.20 a gallon here in Indianapolis compared to 3.10 for 89 octane. The pro's and con's kind of even it out for me. Plus turbos really like the e85 :-)

I plan on running e85 all the time on my built motor....
