Yep...never forget Cory is boosted 7 ways to Sunday so running E85 for performance purposes is there. Running E85 for your purpose, just run of the mill, is going to prove to be costly and overall pointless.

yes unless you did a all motor build and could get into the efficiency range to make it work for you its not worth it high comp and turbo motors are what benefits from it

yeah most of what you would need to convert it is necessary for a forced induction build anyways, so as long as you allow enough flexibility in sizing injectors and such, its pretty easy to tune for it on a piggyback. for performance purposes its awesome.
