i don't remember too long ago. +20 hp +40 tq? on a mustang
i drive pretty conservative about 25 mpg
it was the only option at the time. just too lazy to remove all the crap off my car and no one tunes ecutek anymore or else i would be driving a stock subaru. i regret ever modding the stupid thing. waste of money.
e85 is the new rage. "cheap race fuel". i'd probably go e85 since it's easier. don't have to mount a methanol kit (i don't even know if kits are still available).

I dont think you will get more power from e85 but you will make "safe" power, I was told my car lost around 60hp when it was switched over due to fuel injector selection currently available, it was 578hp with meth 489hp on 91 no meth before the e85 switch.... as for gas mileage I just got 17.2mpg on my last tank and i defiantly ripped it a few times on that tank so i would say i could get 18.5-19mpg if i totally babied it, pulling 426hp on dyno @15.5 psi.......... and its $3 a gallon and smells good when it dumps out the wastegates
