Ethanol is the base for E85
Methanol is what is commonly referred to as alcohol or ALKY in the racing world.
those 2 fuels are completely different and have completely different component requirements and calibration to operate properly

The Holley E85 carb has a factory coating to protect the metal. Carbs are probably the highest $ per horsepower gain ratio in racing. I'd guess the average weekend racer only gets about 70% out of what any 'race' carb can do. You'd need a special carb guy to keep up with all the variables during a race event.
