Do you mean the E85 or AFM? If E85: I'm not sure how it is for high-performance engines. If AFM: I'm not sure that many Corvette owners would want to have 4 cyl running part of the time, and the Vette is already atop the pack for sports car gas mileage. Also, I'm not sure how AFM does with forced induction, etc.

E85 (octane of 105) might even increase horsepower...  :scratchchin:

But then it'll have to be calibrated to run soley on E85 (impossible) to see such gains.

it could do it... but performance would suffer if the engine has to be efficent with both fuels...

a E100 would have some major gains...

but the E85 wouldnt cost much to do... its just different plumbing... nothing too fancy...
