Re: People are IDIOTS! - E85

The answers you seek and already know to be true are simple and effective
-alcohol absorbs more heat than gasoline. Cooler intake charge = more power
-alcohol has a higher octane than gasoline. Higher octane = more power
-make sure it is clear: dumping it in does not produce these results, it MUST be tuned for the new fuel. 28-30% fuel increase but still tuning to around 12:1 AFR on a gasoline calibrated wideband. More timing. More boost. Cooler intake charge. Cooler cyl temps. Cooler EGT's. It all adds up to more power.
