E85

What would it be like on a bolt on LAP?

Would it add anything? Possible more timing? Cooler running temps?

You would have to be tuned for it. You could advance the timing in the tune, but filling up with E85 would not do that automatically.

What injectors are you running? I would think you would have to go up a size but i'm not 2.2 guru Its def gonna use more fuel and your mpg is gonna drop a lot.

Well I mean, what do you want out of it? I love the corn juice, but it's not something I would do on a car with "just" bolt-ons either.

Are you still on stock injectors? The LSJ can't do E on stock injectors. I doubt the LAP can either. I might be wrong

i know my friends were talking about E85 a while back on non flexfuel cars and they were debating that since our fuel lines are meant for E85 that after a period of time they actual corrode a lot faster, this true?

Yes stock injectors. About 50% duty cycle tuned.
