yakisoba Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 The current time trial rules restrict no-points compression ratio mods to 0.5 or less. Is that any different for cars running E85? Should there be provision for TT engines running E85? Is there anyone doing this right now? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedengineer Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 You would need to take the compression ratio points if you go more than 0.5 regardless of which fuel you are using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yakisoba Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 Cool, I figured as much. Hard to enforce though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yakisoba Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Yep. Ya'll were one of the reasons I started looking at it. Any advice for an aspiring E85 user? Beyond investing in a barrel dolly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboShortBus Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Don't forget these, if you're not already taking the points on your gasoline engine: C6) Non-BTM or modified carburetor, fuel rail, fuel injectors, fuel pump(s), and/or fuel pressure regulator +2 (no points forfuel pump alone if using BTM fuel and timing maps, sensor inputs and ignition timing) Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
