Cost 400$ to have your carb redone for E-85.
Now if I was 13-14 to 1 its a different story. Well worth it vs the cost of race gas.
I have two motors one is 10:65 and the other is 11:50 and I don't really
see a diff between them either. So that little bit in compression I don't
think it really matters unless your going for a world record or something
like that. I just play around on the street mostly.
