Make sure your fuel pump is e85 compatible. Not all upgraded pumps are.

mine is a Aeromotive Stealth 340 LPH In Tank Fuel Pump.... should be good

Yes I was ... If I recall it was like 12 mpg. Really bad mileage...

damn! sounds like its only good for a dyno or race day. could you run 100% ethanol ? or e40, e50

Last I read from Aeromotive, which was last year, was that E85 or ethanol whatever %, with greatly reduce the life of the Stealth 340. I have the same one. There have been multiple reports of it failing on boosted vehicles. As the owners weren't aware of the ethanol warning.

You need a Deatschworks pump, or the Ethanol rated Walbro 400 (?). They can both run pure ethanol without issue.



Also, an ethanol sensor is a much advised must. As it will be able to tell what the actual ethanol content is, and tuning permitted, adjust timing accordingly.

Just do it already. Wouldn't be the first time it's been through there... It's definitely a noticeable difference in power.
