    E85

    Those who have done it tell me all about it. Did you upgrade anything other than injectors? Power gains? Did it actually eat through anything? A safer e70 tune worth it? There's tons of rumors out there that are just rumors. Hoping to get real experience an even some tuners words of wisdom if...

    Engine Oil Leak Only When Engine's Cold

    So I recently purchased a 1990 Mustang GT, so far it doesn't leak anything beside a little power steering fluid (or radiator fluid I'm not sure).
