Default E-85 instead of Racing fuel ????????? Help??????

High compression muscle cars, such as 11:1 do not run on pump gas. Can i run E-85 instead of expensive race fuel? I would get a E-85 carb, fuel pump, stainless fuel lines and a stainless fuel tank. Please give me your feedback or experiences. Thanks,Roger

Have not been able to talk with anyone who has done this. I just want to keep the muscle car compression, without the high priced racing fuel.

sure you can use it with the right combination of e-85 carb and a fuel pump that can deliver it. very high octane.
