E85 and the new 5.0
What all is involved in changing over to E85 on the coyote motors. I know a tune would be required, but what about the fuel lines and injectors etc.?

Check Kroger. Almost all Kroger stations carry the corn.

That's strange, if I use my locator app, it only returns Kroger stations. I just assumed they all carried it.

Actually its more like 4-5% more HP and 20-30% more fuel. Also burns slower due to the ethanol. Its around 104-106 octane.

N/A your only gonna get around 15-30 HP....At your HP and 5% that's 21hp. I bet when you go e85 you won't go over 455hp might get 460

Kroger in Mansfield was the closest location
I could find close to me. So is it ok to run E85 if you're not boosted?

Yes, just decrease in your MPG if that is something you try and keep decent.

I got 12mpg on E85, but if its bought cheap enough it's actually a wash.
