Default Thinking about e85

Lower cost, more power, better engine life, cooler running temperature, longer lasting oil and plugs.

Why has no one done this?

Would anyone recommend it on a N/A stock car?

Stock? No.

I wouldn't agree with the statement that it produces more power. It basically acts as a really high octane and therefore you can run a quicker spark and higher compression/more boost without detonation. I don't think the stock ecu would adjust itself far enough to extract any more power from changing the fuel only.
Is this also the fuel that requires the stainless fuel lines as well or am I off my rocker?

I would need a new ecu, fuel pump, and bigger injectors. Any car made after like 1986 has the right rubber in the fuel lines to not be corroded away.

Since I would need a new ecu, I could change ignition timing and a few other things as well. If I'm not mistaken, you can gain 25-35 hp with this depending on bolt-ons.

I wouldn't waste the time or money on it na. Save up for boost, then get e85.
