Message	platforms, especially turbocharged vehicles have been tuning with it for many years now... an have figured out various motor/fuel system setup's to optimize the benefits of E85 for a given performance goal, while minimizing any potential issues it may present.. Everything is a trade off,like most things in life, we all can't have our cake and eat it too. E85 is a whole new wave of tuning potential in the Z32 arena for maximizing performance without the stabbing costs of paying traditional race fuel level prices,etc.... But offers the majority of the benefits of high octane race fuels, (I'd say well over 75% of what Q16 does) without the Q16 level prices. -Mario D. Sig:
