That'd be a low 8 second engine in a Fox :lol:

Have you done anything with the brakes or are they stock? I wouldn't want to slow down 4k pounds down from 150mph with stock brakes.

The 2010+ brakes are pretty good actually. It isn't like trying to stop a fox on stock brakes thank god!

You don't have issues with inconsistent fuel buying e85 from the pump?

Personally, I never did. There were the expected seasonal blend changes (E70 in winter, E74 in spring/fall, and full E85 in summer) but I had a tester that I used to test a very small portion of the fuel just in case. I then found that my local Kroger station in Dayton kept full blend summer E85 at their pumps year round. Jeff88coupe found the same at his local Krogers. Now I understand that some others have found this not to be the case. It isn't really that dangerous running a summer blend tune on spring or winter blend E85, you just run rich and lose a bit of the benefits of the ethanol. Now running summer or spring blend on a winter blend tune can cause you to run lean, which can be dangerous.

As long as you keep an eye on things, which isn't hard, it should never be a problem.

BTW, Terry I have my E85 tester laying around if you are interested in picking one up. This is the same model I have. You just put a small sample of E85 into the tester and use a multi-meter to read the output and you are done. Takes all of 30 seconds from start to finish.

Cool. I forgot to paste in the link for anyone that is curious about the tester http://www.ebay.com/itm/KENT-MOORE-ALCOHOL-ETHANOL-E-85-FUEL-COMPOSITION-TESTER-w-INSTRUCTIONS-/220943331785?pt=Motors_Automotive_Tools&hash=item33713fb1c9&vxp=mtr#ht_1368wt_1392

ya...and other safety stuff. Anyone make a tranny and flexplate shield for the stock auto yet? Also 3 layer fire jacket & pants/neck collar/gloves, window net. 10.00 to 9.99 gets expensive quick.
