Corn fed
 

I have been working with Shaun getting my E85 tune squared away. Holy hell the car is an absolute monster. Should be finalizing the tune today and getting out to the track this evening. Previous best was [email protected] on 91 octane and street tires. I hope I get to make my first 10 sec pass tonight at over 130! :smiley-face-popcorn I am really impressed with the amount of power and timing E85 will take.

haha thats awesome man cant wait to see the results

Wish I could run the corn but I daily mine and would be worried about getting stuck in BFE and not finding any E85 Stations.

Kevin (04sleeper) is the guy to talk to about E85. He knows more about it than just about anyone out there including several of these popular email tuners who frequently ask Kevin for help. lol.


There is several apps you can put on your phone to show you the locations of E85 stations around town to make it easy on you and plan fill ups.

E85 is definetely the way to go. :)

That's the way I'm going.

same here. If it was more readily available I would be all over it.

I probably wont daily on it, from my understanding that quick trips on E85 in cooler weather is not good since it allows fuel to get in to the oil pan and the short trips dont allow the motor to get hot enough to evap it off.

I texted Kevin to chime in here to give some E85 info. :)

I love running E85 through my car. I cant wait to get it back and finish the motor break in so we can turn up the boost on E85 and lay down some power. I ran E85 daily for months and never had any issues. I was still getting around 18mpg on the highway also and that was with 550rwhp

I already know everything I need to know. It makes more power, it safer, but you get less mpg but who cares about that. Oh and the fuel is cheaper. nuff said.

Exactly. Cheaper and more power. I picked up 110rwhp by running E85 over 93 and running 2 psi more boost.

Why don't you just get two tunes then? An E85 tune and a 93 Octane tune? Hell, you could get a 91 as well.

That is not a reason to not run it IMO.

After seeing cars over the years and the benefits associated with E85, there is no way I would run anything else. Especially on the new 5.0's!

What about the E85 in the oil pan issue? how big of a deal is it and how much gets in there?

True Street always did my oil changes and Toby never said there was anything he would worry about. That was at 5000 mile changes also.

Im running amsoil AZO in mine and when I called they said when using E85 with that oil to follow the OEM change interval instead of their recommended 25k. I just got done logging my latest update. it really is a night and day difference in fuel for sure.
