I'm not sure about 50/50 mixture,but with e85 you need between 25 - 30% more fuel and 10-1 compression. e85 is about 105 octane and works well on the street or strip, but tends t be alittle corrosive you should run a poly or stainless steel fuel tank(maybe a rubber bladder fuel cell) and alcohol rated rubber fuel hose. You'll also need to run more timing and 2 step cooler plugs. I'm working on my set-up now, hope to have it ready for spring.
