At the track with stock turbo...
My injector ms went to about 12 ms and it started breaking up a bit with a .90 PE lambda, When it got to 6500 in third and I let off it popped a CEL & limp mode for low fuel rail pressure. That was on E85 running 24 psi boost and 23* advance with the stock tranny ratio. My actual lambda showed .93 from the wideband during that pull. I was running the Trifecta base file with 2700 psi pressure >160% load.
I figured I couldn't get enough fuel into the DI window and backed off to 50% ethanol after that.
Here's a link to the post on HPTuners... I'm flowing 31 lb/min VE when this happened.

I will try it again since you have proven success. I've requested a 2800 psi base file, hopefully that will do it. I may need to replace the line from the cam driven pump to the rail as it has been reconnected once repairing an oil leak and may be pinched down too far to flow enough. Thank you for your input.
Does yours start ok cold? I tried advancing the timing 6* during cranking but it still took two key cycles to start on E85.

I have not noticed any starting issues yet, but it hasn't been that cold. When it gets real cold, E85 cars will start harder, regardless of tune. I am under the impression that gas stations in northern states switch over to E70 through the winter months. Hopefully they don't do that before I am done tuning and racing for the year.
Actually, mine got harder to start when it dropped into the 50's here. Two key cycles and it will fire up ok, like it needs a double prime.
Stations begin the switch in October for the winter months. You may be at 70% already depending on how recent your station got a load. I could run 70% fine in warmer temps. My MAF freq calibration shifted +33% positive on E85 so you can gauge by that.( X 1.33 across the board to get the trims in line.) E48 is a +14% shift.

Based on the tune, I'm sure I have E85 in right now. I filled a can yesterday and brought it to the track, but I did not need to add any. I guess I will find out soon if it has been switched.
Congrats matt! Thats impressive.
If your guys' stations are like most E85 stations you SHOULD be on the fall blend right now as of about September 15 or so which is ~E78. If that is the case I wouldnt be surprised if you pick up more power when the summer blend of E85 comes back...but I also wouldnt be surprised if you run out of fuel on 85% ethanol either

Yep.
Yep. lol Unless there is a talon or something fwd that did it back in the day.

lulz at "Stock" ported turbo i think the better way to word that would be .. ported stock turbo lol.. so he's not on the "stock turbo" but according to an srt4 owner thats stock lol
That srt pictured was with nitrous. We generally dont count that, and neither does the neon world. 11.82 is the fastest srt 4 stock turbo time. I am in this video on the phone.
