I thought seals and what not had to be replaced with higher quality as well as rubber fuel lines.

i already got rubber fuel lines, and my fuel system is compatible except for the after fileter on m fuel pump. Just have to get the carb conversion which is 300. But will pay for itself in first couple months since 115 octane race gas is like 10 a gallon. Its a race car, and the gas station closest to my house sells it.

Oh sweet! Yeah I guess e85 is equal to somewhere around 116 or so. I know boosted cars love the stuff. Sucks it burns faster though, I wouldnt mind paying 1.99 a gallon for 116 octane.

from what I've seen it's approx. 15% difference, not huge for a straight line car.

I thought e85 was only around 100-105 octane just want to make sure that your combo can be run on essentially 105 octane at best
