Without any serious inquiry into the situation, I would have to agree with topless... There can be anywhere from 5-15% ethanol in any gas you use, anywhere in this country (U.S.), without any company being required to tell you about it. I think 15% might be the line, where it must be mentioned on the pump somewhere.

just like extended life anti-freeze is bad also


I was under the impression that this was a pretty smart-*** comment free-zone.













Anyway...



Thanks to those who were actually even remotely serious.

When you are an Mod. I dont think it matters...........





If you want the added margin of saftey, plus the ability to run a bit more timing, and leaner a/f's use water methanol mixed 50/50. I have personaly witnesed this stuff on the dyno, BOTH of my boss's mustangs have them ('03 cobra lots of bolt ons 650 ft lbs, 500hp, 89 LX 5.0 Turbo, built motor mild cam, 400 hp 515 ft lbs). Out of about 20 kits we have installed we only had 1 come back with a problem, and it was a bad pump.





These are the actual kits that we used, you can buy little odds and ends for them to make them "safer".

i was reading it after finding it hidden around the jack area. I have found almost all the original paperwork in that area with all service records. I love being the second owner of cars.
