No you are retarded. You would run whatever your normal tune is, for me around 23psi. Then if you happen to go racing as the E47 tune is my race only tune as there is no need to constantly drive out of my way to get Ethanol then you would flash the E47 tune. Here is how it would work.
Step 1: Drive 1-999999 miles on daily 93 octane tune.
Step 2: race day arrives ---- head to nearest E pump
Step 3: Fill up half tank of 93
Step 4: Fill up other half of tank with E85
Step 5: flash car while filling tank with E85.
It would literally be no sweat off your back and NOT SOMETHING YOU DO EVERY DAY. It would be the one day a week you go racing or one day a month, whatever.
Also, if you spend time reading you would understand these cars dont really have the fueling for full E85 and more power is had on a blend of E47 or E60.

But yeah I guess that makes more sense, I might try a e47 blend for track next year. Bandimere is closed for the rest of the year.
Colorado's highest fuel grade is 91 octane

I run the same plugs that came in my car... they have never been out of the heads lol... I'm on an e47 blend.
Someone said to do a E25 tune, IMHO this is useless, at least for me in California. There is up to 15 or 20% (I forget) ethanol in the normal fuel. On my ethanol tune its half 91 half E85 comes out really close to E50 really. I haven't dynoed the car since my E tune was done by Terminator but it is WAY faster than my 91 tune.
