Canned E85 tune hmmmm.....

So im just wondering how many of you guys would trust an E85 canned tune from ZZP?
I have wanted to switch over to E85 for some time now but I live no where close to anyone that is able to tune for it. Just wondering what everyone thinks.

I'd be concerned with the fact that E85 changes its blend each season, but other than that it should be like any other tune they offer.

Wicked, i know why you dont want to lol. cuz you can do it your self lol. understandable, and even if its a canned tune, you will prob still have a lot of work to do, so i would jsut for a base map, but if you know how to tune e85 no point. so i say go for it.

def a good call. after i read op's statement i looked for available e85 stations around here and found 1 station and thats in center city... 1 station for e85 in philly and surrounding counties... i guess there isnt enough demand for it yet. so it wouldnt even be economical for me to even try out the to0n cause id have to drive 40 minutes just to get gas... FAIL, but i would like to see more reviews and more e85 friendly stations open.

Even I don't know WTF you are talking about. 06SS was just asking how long they have been offering a tune for E85. You mentioned leaving "that crap to a honda forum"... Makes no logical sense to me

E85 in Iowa should be extremely feasible. E85 out there is plentiful, unlike Pittsburgh. Closest E85 station I know of to me is in Robinson... which is still too far for normal use.

Lol I believe he's referring to the "to0n"
If you wanna have some lulz go to b20vtec.com and you will see what he's talking about, but yeah idk why it was necessary to make a completely random comment about it lmao.

canned tunes in general aren't that great, but on the other hand i have NEVER seen my car knock on my 2.8 79 # and e85 and all i have is a heat exchanger for cooling.

if it were to the same level of precision as say... ottp stage 2 i dont think it would be that bad.

i still wouldn't ever use a canned tune for an extended period of time without the ability to watch AFRs or knock
