I wanted to try Map 5 with a blend of 40% E85 (which is available less than 5 miles away) and 60% 91 octane, but I ran out of time. I ran on Map 1 and Map 5 and didn't notice much difference running straight 91. I logged about 400 miles on a long weekend trip and I gotta say I'm very happy with the results. First time on WOT, I saw DTC lights and heard tires chirpping  Power delivery is smooth and strong to redline.
I'll report back when I get some E85 in her and autotune on Map 5.
Any reason to not just clear codes and leave JB4 in for routine trips to dealer (I'm CPO for next two years)? |

When can I start pumping in E85/93 Octane blend to run map5?
Also how do you exactly know the mixture percentage? Is this eye balling it from total volume of the tank?  |
You can run E85 with no other mods on map 5. Assume 16 gallons in tank. I fill 8ga E85 and then the remainder with 91 and then reset the Map (do this by selecting a different map and then switching back to Map 5). Have fun!
