[QUOTE="TwizzleStix, post: 1818782, member: 32095"] In carburetors ethanol is indeed a bad thing. HOWEVER, in fuel injected engines of this century the ethanol is a very good thing for performance, especially forced induction engines. You can run way more timing and cylinder pressure to make way more power than gasoline. Most of the fuel systems, unless flex fuel, aren’t robust enough to run E85, but many are able to handle an E50 blend. The Gen2 Raptor is perfect for E50 and, with a tune to take advantage of it, it can easily add 100hp or more if you’re pushing it. The ethanol also keeps the fuel system clean such that spark plugs last much longer, even running way more than stock power. [/QUOTE]
