Is anyone running E85 or mixing it half and with gas.
Has anyone thought about getting tuned for E85

I am, but I’m running boost. Unless you can get it for 30% less than gas, I don’t think it would be worth it? You’ll need a tune and injectors.

im on e85...Brian is right...need everything fuel related to be 30% increment increase. Basically, a single in tank Walbro 255lph, or Aeromotive 340, injectors, and a lambda tune....you would be able to run some more timing which usually means more power, that depends on the application though too...

Stock fuel pump works.

Well i wont be going full on E85, but i have been thinking switching it up to a 50/ 50 mix with regular gas.. For two reason.. First higher octane rating, and the fact ethanol has more oxygen in it. Which for me at a mile high would help out. Also being this high up has the bonus effect that im not maxing out my injectors on pump gas as less is required for the air my car is sucking in. So even though they will have to work harder with the mix to supply a little extra fuel they should be with in limits as my car is not boosted.
Im thinking of doing this for about a month to get the car used to the mixed fuel then go up to the drag strip and see if it makes any difference in my times.

You’ll need a tune. Even with a 50/50 mix.
