CJM Report: Effects of E85 after 3 years?

the seals do worry me though. if they arent Vitron? then E85 will eat it. older cars get "the black sludge" where E eats everything!! i dont think you can tell this on a 370 though since we dont have a return fuel system. on older cars or return system cars its really easy to see as your sock will be solid black with tar, or it wont.

im getting a tune soon with the ported everything then again later with E and injectors and possibly fuel pump. like everything on a Z just sit back and wait a while haha.

PS...how hard is it to pull the lower manifold? can i leave the fuel rails attached to the car or do i have to pull it out of the way and relieve the pressure in the lines?
