GTFO troll.

ID injectors are not expensive for what you get. Do it once, or do it twice and spend double the money.

And sorry, 2 just because Robert is a damn slacker. Lol. I could say three since Paul used to have one.

And E85 is inconsistent in the blend. Look it up. Matt's car with the parallel set up is fine, but for most, just switching to E85 is going to be a headache, and cost a lot more.

So GTFO until you buy another rotary.

Ouch... lol I'm only 50% slacker, 75% poor, and 29% bad at percentages.

E85 is a bit inconsistent, but it also provides a decent margin of error no matter what the exact mix is. I plan on running it, with or without parallel lines (not sure how that would make a difference in consistency though?).

There was an excellent article linked around here somewhere detailing the pros/cons of E85 with enough insight to know that I would never use it. Mostly because of the fact that it absorbs water over time. So if your car sits (like mine always do) it can cause some headaches down the road.

But I know there are E85 leghumpers and E85 haters. I am not a hater, Matt's car is proof that it makes power, I just am not sold on it.

why would you have to "do it twice" because you got injectors that are not Injector Dynamics?

GTFO? that's not very nice. rotary or not, i would say i'm just as qualified to post on this subject as you are. we both have real world experience with e85, aftermarket turbos, Haltech EMS, and Injector Dynamics fuel injectors, right?

i was not telling the OP whether or not to run E85, just questioning you, as you seem to have experience with its consistency.

also, robert is exactly right about the safety margin being higher to begin with (you may have trouble googling that one)

Nope, but I can read. Which means I don't have to deal with consistency.
