I'll be tuning for E85
I'll be doing e85 tunes at map in plymouth,mn april 19th if anyones interested. I've been picking 15 to 25 hp on a stock gto. on tbss's i've been getting 35-50 rwhp this is for stock or mildly modded cars and trucks. If you have a cam you'll need a fuel pump and bigger injectors ford cobras injectors work well. Any one interested send me a pm.
As for people worried about fuel mileage we haven't seen any loss and if anything most people have reported a gain. OH and E85 is a dollar cheaper a gallon than 92 oct. ASo in 10 fill ups you'll see a 180 dollar difference in your wallet plus the performance gain.

From what I understood E85 uses more volume, thus the need for bigger injectors, fuel pump and sometimes fuel lines. MPG should go down (?), if so the lower price of E85 it should even out in the end and you can tune more agressive so you'll gain more power.

we haven't seen the loss of mialage with a good tune. good tune being key. ls2's dont need injectors or fuel pump unless making over 400 rwhp that I've seen. The stockers hang pretty well.

how much is it per tune? and what supporting mods would i need, im guessing injectors and pump? also does the tune change it strictly to E85 or is it flexfuel where you can go back and forth between gas

Right now it will be strictly e85. I'm working on a flex fuel option. so far I have none. If your car is stock injectors is all that is needed. If you have a lot of mods a fuel pump may be needed but not unless you'll be over 425 rwhp.

im def interested and would be down for a tune but i would need flex fuel because there arent that many E85 fill stations around here theres one on my way to work but i dont want o have to always drive out my way to fill up, let me know if you figure out a way for flex fuel...i was thinking maybe just a switch that resets the tuning for gas/E85 or something like that
