I think we were using Mobil 1 full syn. what numbers are you running before and after the E85 change?

**5PointSlow** · 11-09-2012, 02:40 PM

last dyno was 533/473 std with the stock box with a best of 11.9@124. After adding the JLT/Tune, TiVCT updates and better track prep ive ran a best of [email protected] on 91. Im hoping to hit the track tonight. These times are on street tires and only suspension mods is roush springs. Im hoping to dyno on E85 on 1 Dec.

As of 2012 production, there are over 10 million Flex Fuel cars on the road. If it were a problem it would be wide spread chaos.

As per the Ford Manual. If your recommended oil change interval is 5000 miles for regular oil change, then it goes to 3000 miles on E85.

I'll never go back...Kevin showed me the light. I was once a 93 (90 in AK) sinner, but I have been cleansed of my sins through the liquid gold of E85.

Get a new belt yet? Have a dyno day set up?

I think the manual says 7500 mile oil changes now but I could be wrong. That brings us down to 5000 mile oil changes.

Got the belt. Ordered idlers and tensioner brace. I'm thinking I'll hold off for the DFW5.0s dyno day Dec. 1.

I think i want to do that.
We need a sticky on what all is needed to run on E85. Sounds like it's too good not to do.

Change the fuel lines and everything else should be good till you run out of fuel system.

Just for the safety aspect of it alone, E85 is worth it. Add the amazing performance gains with it and it's a no brainer.

on these cars we dont need to change the lines out unless your shooting for the moon. I am currently running ID1000 injectors and a Vortech non programable BAP. Shaun has my car running 24*s near the top of 4th. The car flat hauls ass!
