Default Loss power
Tommy E85 is a higher octane but needs more compression to make the same power. You can run 14.5 compression with E85 and no problems but need this to get the power back to wear you where running 100 octane gas and 12.0 compression in the motor. It does burn cleaner, It's alcohol. It runs cooler, needs more compression, and cheaper if the motor is setup that way. No sure about how the camshaft setup would help or hurt a motor. I do know we have people here in nj that run E85 and there is a 15% loss of power running this fuel with the Bi fuel setup. This is GM. I don't know about Ford or Dodge. Rick L.
