Try to run E85 in a sled. That should be a good time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen it in the automotive world plenty. Sled engine management, fuel delivery, etc isn’t gonna pull it off any better. All the big Cat turbo guys I knew back in the day were on race fuel for hotter tunes and spray meth (washer solvent) if trying to run hard on the trail. Edited January 7, 2023 by SayatodaU.P.eh?
