Default Question about non ethanol gas and tuning.

If I use non ethanol 93 to tune the car, will I have problems running the car hard on regular 10% ethanol 93?

E10 will go a little lean at WOT compared to non-ethanol. I would tune it with E10 93 first so you have a built in safety margin when you run clear premium.

Agree! stoich for E10 is around 14.0 - that will put you about .5 lean if you tuned on the clear 93 first...

Let me get your opinion on one other thing. Is it worth the effort to do a seperate tune on race gas on an N/A motor? With and without NOS.
