    So regardless of usually being a horrible waste of arable land and smelling sort of bizarre, ethanol gas is fairly cool stuff. Its distinctive traits provide engine tuners the flexibility to extend increase and engine timing in efficiency functions, each of which translate to extra horsepower.

    A whole lot of that means to securely tune for extra energy comes from ethanol’s means to withstand detonation (aka knock, aka pinging). High-octane gasoline can do the identical factor, particularly while you begin costly 100+ octane racing fuels, however it’s tremendous expensive (typically between $10 and $20 per gallon) and never broadly out there, so most manufacturing vehicles aren’t made to put it to use.

    An exception to that may be Dodge’s Demon if outfitted with the brand new powertrain management module that got here in the costly Demon Crate. This gave homeowners a particular high-octane gas button on the sprint and netted a rise of round 40 horsepower when utilizing 100-octane gas. Cool, proper? Well, phrase ‘round the campfire is that Dodge could be working on something similar for E85, according to a report published Tuesday by MoparInsider.com.

    Now, E85 and high-octane fuel can do similar things for power in a performance vehicle, but they’re completely different in some vital methods. First, E85 is far more broadly out there from the pump, particularly in locations like California. It’s additionally so much cheaper to purchase per gallon, however as a result of ethanol is much less energy-dense than gasoline, your engine must burn much more of it to make the identical energy.

    This elevated gas requirement places additional pressure on the gas system, so it appears doubtless that an E85 Hellcat can be a particular version mannequin, just like the Demon or the Super Stock, slightly than a Mopar Direct Connection efficiency components package deal (just like the Demon Crate) because you’d want a lot greater gas pumps and gas injectors, and many others. to make it work.

    How a lot energy might an E85 Hellcat make if SRT made one? Well, the sky is sort of the restrict for the supercharged 6.2-liter V8. The Hellephant crate engine, for instance, made 1,000 crank horsepower, so it’s not inconceivable that an E85 model might do the identical.

    If Dodge SRT does certainly find yourself producing an E85 Challenger Hellcat, it could make for one hell of a sendoff for the mannequin because the model gears as much as start its transition to electrical energy.
