SnoPro wrote:This is no performance secret. The aftermarket is taking full advantage in the automotive market with E85 carbs and supercharger kits. Even with the stock low compression an engine makes a bit more hp not alot but more. I know to take full advantage of E85 you need more compression. I have been looking at a high compression piston but I wouldn't be able to run pump gas when I get out of range of the E85 pump on the trails up north.
