is it bad that i can sit in front of the exhaust taking whiffs of it? LOL!

just kidding but it is amazing.

and youre not coming off as a know it all; youre just sharing knowledge. as you can see i dont have extended use with E85, other than using it to get out that extra torque

I may frequent that in the future. i gotta look more!

We ran the Mighty Car Mods Subarute on E85 when we built it for the challenge against Roadkill and I was a bit surprised more guys weren't across how good it is in high-comp and boosted applications.

I don't want to seem like a know-it-all but we've been playing with "corn juice" down here for a few years and I'd hate to see someone damage a motor because of $2 rubber fuel line.

PS: - how good does it smell? Haha!
