You're going to buy drum'ed fuel for a 11:1 engine? Sounds like a real pain to me.

I'd avoid E85, and just run the highest octane you can get. Retard the timing some if need be.

Put some 12.5:1 slugs in it if you really want to take advantage of E85s edge over normal pump gas. It's by far the best fuel I have ever used and it was 2.97 a gallon last night!
