Discussion about E85

Racers, specifically those of you running E85. I want to learn more and am considering running it in a SBC, 383, high compression, trailered, dedicated drag race car.

Or, in your experience, is Methanol a better choice.

In reference to consistent ETs which fuel, E85 or Methanol holds the biggest advantage? Which fuel hold the best potential for winning because of consistent performance.

I listen to alot of no prep guys and they use E85. It's here at the pump. The problem is it could be when testing at pump could range from75 to 82. That's the highest in AZ.
I know Vp sells it and is the all the rime. I'm guessing the difference at the pump could be why it's inconsistent.
