Best jb4 map for e85/91 mix

Just wondering which jb4 map is best to use for max whp gains when running e85/91 mix. I'm thinking of 70/30 91:ethanol. I keep seeing people run all types of maps but which one is best?

I run map 5 on my 93/E85 mix of about 1/3 E85. Pulls strong.

agree with above, I run 30 e 85 and 70 93 on the newest firmware which seems loads better for ethanol. Map 5 does great

I run Map5 also and I've been running 50/50 E85/93 for about 6 months with no problems... every update just keeps getting better, I'm currently on the G5 ISO 11C and its great! Then when I want another extra kick, I switch over to Map3

Looks like map 5 is the best way to go. How do I download the latest firmware?

No idea. But the butt dyno tells me that it feels just as strong, if not stronger, as the car did when I ran it at the 1/4 mile track on 100 octane, on older JB4 firmware. I ran a 12.519 @ 112.77 on that day (really hot in humid, mid summer in south Florida).

Map 5 is weak compared to map 2 when running around 6.5 gallons of E-85. I've tested both and map 2 is the stronger map.

I see people say this but the dyno proved otherwise for me.
