    Don't you have to set an engine up to run E85? I don't think you can just decide to run E85 in them??? Am I right or wrong

    I am guessing your engine is stock as your using the motospeed map. As the thread on e85 stated you would have to make ethanol resistant fuel lines and most likely move up to harley injectors . Id say its a waste of time for maybe a 1 horse gain. Perfomance porting the head is number one on the Dale mod list . Its a permanent 8-10 plus horse gain on a stock engine. Is your engine updated with the z crank bearing ?

    With no history or proof of basic updates my policy is never run the engine again until it done or verified. They just cost to much to repair once they are driven to destruction and you need to replace so many internals.
    E85 might be cheaper but you will use much more so its a wash.
