As far as being handy, I went to a vocational high school and had four years of auto mechanics. We weren’t called “technicians” back in the 70’s!



I worked for a Ford dealership from 1980 to 1983 and HATED every day of my life.



So, while handy, I refuse to change my own oil.



I DO know a couple of guys that like to wrench that I can probably pay off in beer though...


Besides what others said about e85 and it being higher octane meaning more timing and/or compression, e85 isn’t actually as power dense as t-rex blood. But you also don’t need as much air for a complete mixture so you can also compensate with the amount of boost you dial. E85 is somewhat of an easy way to get more power. You will lose mpg though and depending on the price of gas vs e85, you will probably pay more and fill up more often.
