He may need some fuel system components like a FPR, bigger injectors, and a fuel pump. If he is doing it to a newer car it will most likely need a tune.

Yeah, I agree with this guy it's not like you need a silly thing like a tune or other fuel system components to get a HP benefit out of it...
yeah, just dump it in and go ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)
in fact, even better...you'll be paying less for gas per gallon but your fuel mileage drops as well...win win?

He didn't give any spec to his "build" if you just wanna run E85 "dump it in and go" any engine can benefit from a "tune". Alcohol requires additional FLOW (30% more is the usual base line. in the case of my 68' bigger carb, jets, fuel lines fuel pump in your case injectors MAF etc.) in order to achieve what stock engines are built to run on and with using normal pump gas swill.Alcohol has a lower specific gravity and combustion index contributing to its higher octane rating. Again there's lots of good info on the net. Sorry for the original lack of explanation. At least I tried instead of just "quoting" and wasting space with the "what this guy said" I feel dumberer already.
lol so you're assuming since you did it to a carburated '68 that all you need to do is put it in and go? I think a OBDII vehicle has a few more sensors and a more complex ECU then a carburated '68. Especially if you're running boost I wouldn't just "dump it in and go" that's when shit goes wrong and you're looking for a new engine.
