Performance to burn!
85 burns cleaner and cooler than gasoline with less wear and tear on your
engine — plus it boosts horsepower and torque without an environmental
downside. Installing FLEX-BOX SMART KIT™ and running E85 is the mean AND
clean way to optimal performance!

Massive added-power potential
E85’s 105-octane rating makes it perfect for high-compression,
custom-built performance engines. Turbo and supercharged motors
can handle a big increase in boost pressure when running E85 for
an even bigger increase in torque and horsepower. Why pay for
expensive racing gasoline when E85 gives you even more
power and costs less than regular gas?

FLEX-BOX PLUS™ is specially designed
for engines that develop over 300
horsepower. With braided stainless
hoses and a high-flow injector, it’s the

land speed record!
Troy Trepanier and John Meaney of FLEX FUEL U.S.® are
the brains behind FLEX-BOX™ technology. Recently, they
pushed ethanol performance to new heights on the
Bonneville Salt Flats, shattering a record that has stood for
16 years. Hand-built by Rad Rides By Troy for George
Poteet, the “Blowfish” Cuda runs in the Blown Fuel
Competition Coupe (BFCC) class. With its ethanol-powered
4-cylinder 178-cubic-inch Chrysler pushrod motor, the
Cuda’s best speed to date is an amazing 255.658 mph.
The ideal fleet
solution.
merica is concerned about the environment and
energy independence, and vehicle fleet operators
are looking for ways to make a positive contribution.
Switching fleets over to newly manufactured flexible fuel
vehicles (FFVs) is one approach, but for most operators
that’s prohibitively expensive. Retrofitting with FLEX-BOX
SMART KIT™ is the answer, and can bring your existing
fleet all the benefits of E85 with only a minimal investment.
