what do you think about that fuel on our cars? Just wondering if people here using it or ever tried. I'm using mix about 50/50 and my IDC is 120%.

I think Verfer is running an e85 and race gas mix.

Yes I was running about 30-40% ethanol mix last year. It seemed to work ok, but had other issues with the car and never really got a chance to get a good tune on it.
I'm going to try to run straight E-85 this year, but that will depend on the car budget. My IDC's were getting kind of high on the mix, but I was still a little rich and my base fuel pressure was around 43-45 psi (my gauge sucks).

I'll take it easy till I replace my clutch and than I'll get bigger injectors to lower my IDC and knock.

Unless you have some experience with tuning I wouldn't try it.
You will need a larger fuel pump, some thing to tune the A/F with and a wideband O2.
