Default Starting E85

Been on E85 for 3 years now.
The only thing I'm still playing with is the start up. I've gotten to start after 2 to 3 cranks, but want the one crank and VROOM. Why can Flex cars start up so easy?

Lean off the initial injection pulses might be worth a shot.

DFI lets you "pump" the accelerator prior to startup, the more fuel I threw at it the quicker it would start COLD. It fires as soon as I hit the starter switch! Now HOT I haven't figured out yet... obviously I took most of the fuel out of it but I've gone both ways without much change This thing would fire right up without any tricks on the stock pcm... must be operator error, which doesn't help you at all

How much advance do you have in it?

I have it 3 degrees over stock...can't remember the exact figures,,,,watching HEAT VS BULLS right now. I'll play with those figures later to see if anything changes along with some lean out.
