Cool, thanks for the info. But it would suck if you are on a road trip and running low on gas and can't find an E85 equipped station. What about the gas mileage with E85? Is it less or more efficient, or about the same?

It's much less efficient. This is somewhat offset by the lower cost, but not nearly enough IMO. If you don't have easy access to it at all times, it's really not ideal.

Basically, what it looked like in the video a slipping clutch, tire slip/spin, or a miss-shift. How I understand it is, Ford put in a protection for the clutch when it senses WOT and a shift it pulls timing from the engine to limit clutch slip damage, kind of like torque management. It is really annoying, especially when power-shifting or even quick shifting, and only a few tuners know how to turn it off.
I was thinking that is why the Lund tuned car looked like it fell off during the shifts.
