Re: Trans Cooler

Murff,
I agree, I read E85 will vary from 70% to 90% Ethanol. Mostly depending on the season though, more gas in the winter for easier cold weather starting.

There is no doubt our government is trying to slow the use of it. Its tough to even talk about E85 in the company of some folks, they start getting all worked up on the politics involved.

I ran an Odyssey on menthanol in the sand dunes in the mid 80s that got hot on gas, after converting it to methanol it ran much cooler and I never seized another motor. It drank the fuel though.

HotRod Mag did an artical about E85 late last year that was very impressive.
The artical talked of guys running E85 with high static compression ratios in turbo/super charging applications that were making gobs of power with no detionation at all. All on fuel that they were buying at their local gas stations for cheapy prices.

I may be interested in the small MSD,but we run a solid roller cam so I would need a steel gear. Actually, I need to see how this entire blown up motor is going to shake out before I buy anything.

Our car is going to Ron Pircey on the 14th for a cage.
