More interested in 1/4 mile times then dyno TBH. How do you account for when the E85 is only E65-70 at the pump? Does the tune adjust? Only reason I ask is the E85 around me has been E65-75 when I tested it.

Cool thanks, I hope you put down crazy good numbers and even if you don't, no big deal, you'll just keep working at it until you get what you want. Good luck and thanks for pushing the envelope

Let me know if you want visitors, if not I get it

Well I went to 3 e85 stations near me and measured their ethanol content and asked my tuner which one would be ideal for me to always pump at .

So you're running full e85 with the stock fuel system? Is it a noticeable improvement in power?

It doens't work. Fuel pump can't keep up with straight E85 unless you run really low boost AND really lean AFR. You can run more timing but it doesn't give enough power to justify it.

Best option until we release CPI is E40 which allows up to 460whp and beyond stock turbo:

I saw multiple dynos and users running E85 already, so that's what I'm curious about. I don't mind running less boost if it'll get me 40+whp more than standard stage 2. If there's more in it down the road with a fueling upgrade, cool. but the opportunity seems to be here already.
