I am running a 461" BBO on e85 with a 1050 quick fuel engine was built by Rocket Racing and it was running mobil 1 with a Zinc additive but I put my first oil change in it and I have been running Valvoline VR1 20w/50 its got alot of Zinc which helps out with the Flat tappet Cam that was put in it at the time it was built. Also the E85 has a kind of Dry fuel meaning little to no upper cyl lubrication I use lucas ethanol treatment and its really been great on this motor. All this motor does is make hard passes. Its not had any problems and I have gone over all the changes to what I have done with the motor with the man who built it and he is tickled. It performs flawless when it was on the 110 octane it was a hotter running car as far as engine temp but now on the e85 I have been able to keep jetting it down for speed I have really reached a point where I am going to start jetting up and I am still at 30* timing so I am going to start stepping up the timing this spring. I just purchased a narrowed 12 bolt with a spool and a set of strange 33 spline axles and a ladder bar set up with a 4.30 pro gear. I cant wait to get this all welded up and I also bought the QA1 Coil over shock front springs I will now be right where I need to be with this car sitting about 4/5" off the ground dead level no yanking the wheels off the ground and hopefully running 9.80's with it on e85 at less than 3.00 per gallon dont get no better than that.!!!
