I thought my car was sleeper. I imagine with the much higher octane rating of the E85 that you didn't have to adjust the timing curve at all. Also, since it takes so much more E85 to make the same power as gas, did you upgrade the fuel pump at all?
Do you still go to VT? I'm a student there in Engineering and have a 1.9 Liter ford escort Lx just like yours. I've been wondering about putting a turbo in it.
