Anyone using E85

For the A/F, those were just general off the cuff numbers. All A/F wideband are Lambda - often presented as something else but the measurements are always Lambda to start with. Keep in mind that for example, 14.7:1 will not necessarily yield the most power for a gas engine. Those again are generalizations - which is why I stated "around" certain numbers.

I would encourage anyone interested to really read up rather than depending on one or two peoples "personal stories". In my experience and until I see differently, for non-boosted motors, E85 is not a solution. If somebody picked up power by doing nothing but switching to E85, they had a poorly setup motor to start with.

In build-off contests including those specifically targeted at ethanol and E85 engines, there has yet to be a single engine built (non-boosted) that equals a similar displacement gas engine build of similar design and "category".

E85/Ethanol/Alcohol do provide definite benefits for boosted applications.

As you might have realized, I am a very big critic of Ethanol. I find very little positive to say about it. Yes, it has some advantages, but they are massively outweighed by all the down sides- IMHO. And that doesn't even get into the fact that it's a total loser from a practical sense - AND that it can really cause issues. Ever wonder why marine fuel does not contain ethanol?
