I don't have an alky kit right now. When I convert my black car over I will use 100% E-85 and Meth injection. And try it
As far as performance , the E-85 kicks butt. I'm running 26 degrees timing and 22-23 psi boost in the White car all the time and that is with less than 100% E-85.
You'll lose varying amount of mileage depending on what mixture of E-85 to gas you use. Some people have had very good luck with a 50/50 and still retain most of their mileage.
One thing I did find is that I needed to run a hotter thermostat to have it really work well. So I run a 195 in this Texas heat with no problems, The alcohol likes the engine warmer to work the best, I'm sure the oil appreciates it too... in fact I'll never run a 160 t-stat in a street car again gas or e-85
