Don't unless you have tuning software larger injectors and a bigger fuel pump ...besides gains in a non fi setup will be minimal and you'll use more gas

One thing you can try doing is typing e85 in search. Magic happens and you will see multiple topics and answer many if not all of your questions.

Perfectly fine to run E85 on a 100% stock Z...

I'm not saying we should ban people that are too lazy to search... I think we should stop answering their dumb questions and let it sort itself out (blow their motor).

Research E85. Not sure why you would want to switch to it? I purposely look for gas with NO ETHANOL! I'm sure there's some positives to use it, but for me, the crappier gas mileage and the fact that it can cause moisture/water to form in your fuel tank is enough to avoid it like the plague.

E85 is perfectly safe to run in any vehicle. But no point unless your going to run a F.I. setup or very high compression motor
