I just talked to them and they said no to an E85 tune. You guys buying the
E85 at the pump or in barrels?

Scott sorry we could not help

Phil we are only tuning more race oriented cars like yours and Jason's just due to being safe that fuel can change easily at the pump and cause major issues ( or lack of E85 in some cases when out on the road )

thanks for the props though

yeah that makes sense. it is easy for us to test the fuel every time before we put it in the car but not very practical for something that is driven year round when the blend changes and filled up all the time at different stations. understandable.

I'm not driving it in the winter. I also have the capability to check the content everytime I fill it.

Does he do a good job? I haven't heard much about the tuning any of these guys have done. I have had some experience with one tuner from Chicago and wasn't that impressed with his work.

Btw as long as you tune the first time with e85 you will not hurt anything if it changes a little bit. Cause it will just go richer anyways. We run several 800rwhp cars and never check the content of the fuel and have no issues period!!!! The winter months are the only time its e70.
