May have solved 100% E85 on LNF puzzle
They seem to be handling it fine. Its direct injection, so its not an injector thing. Its more of a pulse width, fuel pressure, and fuel pump thing.
Still toying with timing right now. I should have some files with timing changes for my dyno time.

From: 6000ft on a Mountain in Colorado!
I don't understand, can someone please explain why I would want to do this, how safe it is for me and my mods, Colorado has hundreds of E85 stations because we're so high they want to promote clean burning fuel. We only have 91 octane up here, nothing higher.
If I ask Vince to tune me for e85 do I need parts? If I get tuned for e85 can I use regular fuel (like a flexfuel car) I just need to be educated but from the basics and with basic term.
Thanks

can i use regular fuel and e85 whenever I want, even mix it like flexfuel cars
also since it's cleaner burning can I use a catless downpipe? Think I'll pass emissions?
Seriously Colorado has a lot of e85 stations, so I'd be doing it to avoid $4 gas prices

It is doubtful you'd pass emissions with no catalyst just from running E85 but maybe you would.
Once you choose the mixture you want, you gotta stick with it. Hence why many don't like the idea of switching.
No. Unfortunately it's not a flex fuel vehicle. If you want to run E85 you need to run either some preset mix of E85 with a special tune OR gasoline and be able to switch the tune when the fuel is changed.
