    EPwerks is looking at doing a dyno day for our local European Auto Enthusiasts. We will be coordinating the event with another local shop. We will be using a 2WD Dynojet 248 model. If we get enough people it pricing will be as follows: $65 gets you three runs. If someone needs an extra run or two it shouldn't be a problem. We will probably also do a BBQ pitch in as well. Let me know who is interested at what weekend you would have available to do this.


    Thanks,

    David

    straight e85 is corrosive, and you need bigger injectors and fuel pump and other things to run it. I mix it in with regular gas to make it less corrosive and because it wouldnt be good to run straight e85. I have a turbo car with bigger injector and bigger fuel pump and alot of compression

    I only use Shell 93 octane V-Power fuel. After running tests on multiple cars, and running the tanks almost completely dry, then filling back up on the Shell gasoline, my cars actually got consistently BETTER fuel mileage than any fuels I used before. I am a believer.

    I do the same thing. I'll drive across town for the Shell gas rather than go down the street to the Marathon. It's only an extra 5 minutes for what seems like a much better formula.

    Ive got a BP credit card for gas, so thats where I'll go outta my way for. My cars seem to run well and get better gas millage than the cheap stations. Plus $20 gas cards from BP in the mail is sweet too.

    Hey, new to the Fort again. Just got back from boot camp. Have a e34 540i, with close to 200k. Thinking of switching to an e30 somewhat modded. What do you guys think. Kinda want both, but really cant afford it.
