I was running a 93 tune but also stuck with 91 octane. So i blended with e85. After the track on sunday I reverted back to 2 bar and 91 though for the winter, I may as well save some money because the roads are brutal here in the winter
Looks like that blend helped you out with the killer times you threw down in some thick DA #'s.

I'm stuck with 91 octane here in CA, with my 25% mix of E85 I'm at about 93.8 octane. More than likely going to experiment with meth once I get these downpipes put on.
Are you monitoring with anything Mike?

Yes indeed, I go back and forth with Dash Command and Torque Pro.

Well I did it...although I'm a little light on the E85 at the moment.  I used an E-85 calculator and guessed at how much fuel I had in my tank based on the miles left reading and I must have been a bit off so I only got 1 of the 2 gallons of fuel in my car...so I'm probably only around E12 LOL  I will adjust next time accordingly - will still be Interesting to see what happens as I haven't had time to drive it yet.

Don't know if it would matter much, probably depends on how far you'd have to travel to from e/85 to normal gas, but I put my e/85 splash in first as to mix it better.

Can't wait to hear the results!

If you are running Torque, it will show fuel left in tank a a percentage. Just make sure the car is flat then it's easy to calculate.

I went out shopping for E85 today and so far I drew a blank. The place I found on the Internet said they took it out 2 years ago. I'm still following leads. Hopefully one of them will prove fruitful. In the meantime I filled up with Mobil 93 for the first time and reset my KR. I'm not expecting any major difference but it's worth checking while I hunt E85. Kind of funny when I ask many of the station employees if they know where I could buy E85, I often get that blank stare. They don't even know what I'm talking about.

Good luck!

Just a little hick planet called Upstate NY. At least I can get what's labeled 93 octane so it could be worse!

#immediateimprovement just ran home and even Tue gallon I put in did awesome! Max KR at part throttle was 1. Before I was getting 2 to 3.5 consistently. Trims and fuel pressure are all good. You guys rock! Can't wait to mix it properly.

I think you have started a mini-flight-to-quality, Rich :)  There is some hope for Gen 4.1!

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Haha!

After seeing the info about "same" fuel system this seemed like the best route.

Gonna have to ask FoMoCoSHO if there's a 1-800 number for corn addiction.
