May have solved 100% E85 on LNF puzzle
Wow I'm not sure how you guys are maintaining those kinds of mpg.. With the new tune for e35 my mpg have been constantly dropping I'm almost down to 19 mpg... With my tf tune I was about 23.5 on 93... Obviously I know that mpg will decrease but it seems like my foot is heavier than everyone elses haha

GOt one pull in tonight, had to back off in third as I saw over 28 lbs boost, gotta cut the DAL's back! Got on it again at 4k & wound it out to redline. No misfires or low fuel rail pressure but I think it was close at 2200 psi. Sent some info to Vince but got a reply his internet connectivity was bad so IDK if we'll see any more tonight from him or not.
Still looks promising, never got this far on >80% ethanol before. MPG Avg still reporting >30, but by my fuel PID remaining calcs in HPT & miles it's closer to 25 which is what I expected.

Sorry for the tech issues, I'm actually out of town right now and it looks like something happened to my machine back at the office (power failure, internet problems). I'll be back online tomorrow afternoon.

I loaded my tables instead of BYT's DAL & MALT, should be more reasonable tomorrow.
Ry - I let off when the boost gauge caught my eye, it was at 28 lbs! I'll post a screencap, BRB...
Yes, fully bolted now, stock turbo. Also pulled a few % fuel in the areas it wanted less.
Oh yeah, no KR false or otherwise in the entire log.

Well I can kinda see why as far as the mechanics of the combustion go. We are putting in a ton of fuel with E85... Some of the extra fuel is still going through thermal expansion when it is leaving the cylinder because it isn't fully combusted. Sounds like it would be magic for a big turbo setup well minute the higher EGTs. Or maybe I'm way off I dunno lol I'm jsut excited for the E85 right now haha. Let me know about the "tamer" tables. Maybe we don't need as much fuel as initially anticipated.
Got one pull in this morning at 23 psi, just about hit the fueling wall at 2200 psi fuel pressure, popped twice in the midrange during the pull.
Inj % above 50%, no low fuel pressure CEL logged. 4.6 sec 60 - 100, slightly slower than my 47% E average at these temps (~4.5 sec) but I'm having intake cam actuator issues also right now.
AVG MPG displayed is still over 31, calculated from fuel remaining is around 23-24. Perhaps the fuel mass shift is fooling the BCM into better displayed mileage? IDK.

LOL
Have you tried any more Spark advance? I notice you are running 24*... I can't recall exactly but don't LSJs run a few more degrees?

I was running up to 27* from 4k up and a lot more in the midrange than I am now until I vaporized #2 spark plug one day never showing any KR. All at once I logged misfires galore and most of #2 spark plug was gone. Detonation must've got me when I got cocky on the 60% E blend. :-/

No, it's a separate issue I've had for about a week. My intake cam actuator is popping an intermittent P0010 and stops responding after a while, sometimes the intake cam sits at 0.0*, sometimes it wanders around. The new cam actuator arrived today, hopefully it'll be resolved tonight.
Not whatsoever related to any ethanol . It just decided to die at 57k mi.
