do i trust hte method no, does it work more then likely,

by turning up the fuel pressure, the ecu doesn't see the pressure increase, and doesn't alter the fuel trim to much. then with a good ear listen for knock, and add fuel when needed,


your on a fine line..

sure if cost more cause your mpg goes down, but you can push your timming and generate more power.

as far as i know though there's enough people out there saying the fuel pumps cant take the abuse from alcohol, and most of us do not enjoy droping a tank..

I dont know, gas is in $3.20's now and i put $40 everyday to my truck (E-350), so im looking to save some money on gas some how, and E85 is like in $2.50's people use propane in poland, and they never changed and ecu, or used a aem standalone heheh

While it doesn't see the pressure itself, it will immediately compensate by 02 sensor readings, and you're right back at square 1.

Won't save gas...... you will use more right off the bat so as a gas saver, won't save you any MPG.

As a racefuel it will save your pockets from using 100 octane gasoline/petrol.
