In basic terms, a barely modified 335 running straight E85 makes more power than a FBO car running a 50/50 mix of race gas and E85. In fact, the car mentioned above broke our stock turbo hp record on our dyno. It was also the first car we tuned with straight E85. Which tells us there is plenty good stuff to come along in the near future.

Mixing E85 is cute. But running it straight is the bee's knees.

Love it. It sucks running so slow at my altitude but at least us turbo cars lose less than n/a. I might switch to your e85 tune with just my drop in filter and see how much gain I see from my cobb. Based on the numbers I posted, what do you think I could run shiv?

So basically all that fuel sensor add on is for the computer to monitor the actual ethanol content/quality in the e85?

...Procede reads the signal and adjusts the tune based on the measured ethanol content.

Sorry to bump an old thread but did you release the new flex fuel firmware that will allow pwm to work in conjunction with the flex fuel kit?

I have just uploaded the flex fuel firmware and pwm will not work on either map 2 or map 4.
