Renegade e85 sells for 385 for a 54 gallon drum? WHich is 7.11 per gallon.
Would it be better with renegade or is the the same thing?

We are running a 540 with 440-1 heads and 13.7:1 compression. Been running pump E85 for 3 seasons now. If the percentage is 83% or above you should be good. Our engine seems to like 32 degrees timing. We tried going up to 36 but didn't make anymore power just made it harder to start.
