I remember why I was wondering about a pump E3 car, because everyone uses E85, why haven't u made the switch, you would damn near make 100whp more.
It's currently my only car and I don't want to have to deal with trying to find an E85 station every time I need to fill up. I thought I was going to make 50whp more with all this work and that isn't the case, so there's no way I'd make almost 100whp more just by switching to E85.

E85 was 40hp/60tq on my car. A nice bump for sure.

My car honestly gained over 100whp for sure. when i baslined on e85 with a stock rom from sheides i put down 267 at 17psi, and ended up at 341 at 30 psi. I never was tuned on pump gas so im just assuming it has to be around 90-100whp.

55whp/75wtq for me.

E85 owns...but it does suck filling up all the time sometimes. I find myself pre-filling a lot when i know i am going to be places that might not have it. Cheap gas though.

E85 stations are all over the metro. you have 3-4 right in the roseville area.

You are probably right about not making 100whp, I forget you evo dudes run a lot more boost on pump. I just talk from what I experienced so i apologize.

My E85 mileage suffers minimal compared to what everyone seems to be crying about. 25 to 28 pump to E85 highway and I think only 1-2 mpg city.

Either way, I'm interested and have my fingers cross this ETS FMIC does the job.

I live off Lexington and 694, the nearest E85 station is something like 5 or 7 miles away when there are 3 BP stations within that. It just is not practical.

5-7 miles, that's nothing, you just have to get used to filling up when you are out already so you don't have to make special trips. I think i drive 4-5 miles to fill up typically. Totally worth it!

But it's not super convenient so I do understand where you are coming from.

I work right off of 694 and Lexington and there is a Holiday station right off of 96 and 35w that has E85. That doesn't seem to bad considering I am at work 6 days a week.

Oh wow, that's pretty close considering I take 35W to/from work every day. The last map I looked at had the closest station to me in Fridley or someplace.
