OK got me on a technicality I still said 100ll which is aviation fuel.

Tell me that's harder to get than good e85.

I'll be waiting.........

There's 2 stations I can get E85 within 3 miles of me. But it's different for everyone. I'm sure a lot of people live right next to an airport.

Still, E85 is much cheaper than race gas or aviation gas, even if you account for the 30% more you'll use. My brother runs it in his 'vette and gains .2 to .3 ET in the 1/4. He had to change his injectors, some of his fuel lines, and reprogram his ECU I think to do it. Says he still gets 20mpg on the highway.

E85 is great if you can get it, especially for boosted applications.

Alcohol is fun too, which you could make yourself if you have the time and feedstock.

You guys are kind of missing the point that e85 is not all actually e85 and even the stuff that is there are different blends of it.

Its tested the same as any other fuel. Whatever it says at the pump its inspected so that it is actually running that amount. It shouldn't or can't say e85 on it and be e10. Just like if I filled up at a 87 pump it can't be 70 octane .

Each state has a weights and measures body on top of regulating gas stations in almost every state.

E85 varies between 105 and 115 so tell me again how you know what you are getting when the pump just says e85?

Might actually help if you knew what you were talking about.

That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

you're fucking amazing man. Do you get on here primarily just to be a dick or does it come naturally to you? What really do you get out of it. Christ. So the dude wants to run e85 in a car thats not running 14.1 compression WHO THE FUCK CARES at that point? if he is getting 105 THATS amazing compared to pump gas and at that point 105-115 is not a big deal. Hes not going to be tuned to take advantage of it so it doesn't fucking matter.

if you are running more compression/boost then the fuel can handle thats one thing, and you'll have detonation and knock problems, the other way around it doesn't really matter, its not going to hurt the motor and hes not going to get power gains at that point.

I'll pm since I have no pictures in a picture post....

Sorry camera wouldn't focus, but I have to put five different circuits into this package. I have about a 5.5-6mm square to epoxy in all the circuits and then I have to wire bond (basically solder). For those interested I'm building a 555-timer using silicon-carbide instead of silicon.

I'll be putting in 3 current comparators and two SR latches and then having to design and build a PCB to test those to be the 555.

Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist?

I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . .

What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself

but what has drawn your attention

in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums

An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space

Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears,

thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

Not actually my thumb, it's my team-member's.

I'll get right on that.
