I have a question.... is your garage, or the place you'd store that 55 gals of fuel attached to your house?
Maybe it was just me, but when I was racing, I was never too comfortable w/the thought of that much gas/fuel was in the space directly below, and adjacent to my kids bedrooms.

Love the coyote motors, however not pulling out my 363 Dart IE for one.
In my case the shop is detached so it is less of a concern
I considered e85, but quickly dismissed the idea. There is a gas station about a mile from my house that has e85, but it's a Sunoco on the turnpike. I'd have to get on the turnpike, drive 15 miles to the next exit, drive 15 miles back up, get gas, and then pay a toll. No thanks. Not worth it on a street car, so I can't blame you for wanting to change things around. If you have a means so store drums, it may be worth it. What's the storage life for e85? Does it absorb water like gasoline does?
I was contemplating a turbo 363 myself and figured I'd save 3 tunes. 1 with e85,93 oct with meth,and a full race fuel tune. Is it doable with a mega squirt system? I believe the Anderson PMS can store multiple tunes can the MS system store multiple tunes or is it one at a time
those turnpike stations have access roads for the employees to get there. take a jug and fill up
I'd say do whatever it takes to make the car easier to drive and live with. I've long thought 600rwhp (which is still a huge number is a fox) is about the max on the street.
If you can do away with the meth and e85 too, i'd say that's a bonus.

You're right, and I live a mile from that entrance, but filling up the car 5 gallons at a time still sucks.
This is the PRIME reason why I don't jump from the non-intercooled KB into a turbo setup.
My current setup makes a stupid amount of power for a street setup. It's always there and it's always on, and it'll break the wheels loose in any gear at pretty much any speed.
I've considered going turbo or centri a couple hundred times but for what? To make even more power that I'll never get to the ground. lol
I would do the exact same thing you're doing. Get that thing down to a reasonable (but still unusable) power level and just enjoy the ride.
