As long as you have it nearby or can get a drum easily go for it. Its some of the cheapest horsepower you can buy and it gives a safer setup overall especially in a boosted application.

I don't do E85 because (1) I don't drive the Mustang as much anymore (got a daily) and I get worried about leaving E85 stationary in my fuel system without regular driving (albeit, the time I do leave it stationary is probably not long enough) and (2) I can't be bothered to go out of my way to find a special gas station. I need gas, I find a BP... done. :)

Gives you more power but with 93 I can get through half a tank of gas in just the morning of a track day. I'd probably do 2/3 or 3/4 tank of gas with E85. Then I'd need to go find E85 within 10 min of the track, which I have not seen at AMP, TGPR, or Road Atlanta. But, I wasn't looking that hard. I'm not bringing tanks of E85 anywhere. I guess it's not a big deal to people who need the power, but... I don't. If I was doing time trials, sure.

Going to have Lidio Iacobelli of Alternative auto do the work. He said 80-82 mm pulley, tune, injectors and a BAP. He said the BAP is good 675 Whp. Please give feedback. We have 3 gas stations within 3 miles that sell e85.

I would not do a bap with e85. You will be maxing its ability and why limit yourself from future pulley changes?

^^^This. Don't go cheap with fueling. Like I posted before contact Beefcake and tell him you want a Stage 1 Fore Innovations fuel system. And why 82mm pulley? With E85 I would go for 79mm since it seems you don't want crazy power.
