Yeah, E85 can be a little tricky over a remote tune.
WOT tuning, no issue.
But cranking:cold start and idle on E85 can be more finicky.
I'd personally recommend a local tune where the car can be monitored.
Exactly, that's purely tuning.
E85 shouldn't drive any different than a gasoline car.
Only difference is rougher cold start in cold weather.
I usually run E85 in the spring, summer and fall.
I'll switch back to gasoline over the winter months.
That's the same setup we are including in our base turbo kit.
If guys are seeing 800+ through the factory pump, that's fantastic.
I'd guess that's likely the bleeding edge of what the factory pump can support on E85.
E85 burns roughly 30% faster than gasoline, so you need 30% more pump +...
It's an extremely forgiving fuel.
I have seen customer cars in turbocharged applications running CRAZY lean, and the car wasn't even knocking due to their using ethanol. The customer had no idea anything was even wrong until they brought it in.
For a factory engine, if your budget allows for...
If you only have 91 octane access, 100% run E85 if available.
You'll need 1000cc Injectors + Fore Innovations Dual Pump Basket w/ Walbro 450lph pumps, but you can make a solid 800whp on E85 and stock motor.
Since the pistons are basically cast from the factory, E85 is MUCH more detonation...
Congrats buddy!
Torque is badass and on 91 octane ;)
Perfect street setup.
There's going to be lots of guys swapping to turbocharged setups in the future, as you can't beat the power band.
20x10 +40 (23.5 lbs/each)
20x11 +55 (25.2 lbs/each)

I don't know how commonly shared this is, but you need to be careful using correction factors on a Forced Induction setup. (Especially at altitude, where the correction will be even more so inflated.)
SAE/STD correction is designed for...
Could you measure with a ruler how much ground clearance you have and take a pic?
Can't wait to hear what you make, congrats man!
Are you on pump gas? E85 Ethanol?

Psyched to be here and look forward to working with many of you in the future. :cheers:
The best thing you can do is forced induction.
Be it supercharging or turbocharging, nothing will provide gains like a blower or turbos.
Nitrous is fun and I've owned several nitrous cars, but the bottles get expensive to fill....and become more hassle than they are worth, IMO. I can't tell...
I wanted to start out by saying a special thank you to the ownership/moderation staff for allowing a gathering place for the S550 owners to share information on the chassis.
The 2015 Ford Mustang is something special. Having worked with numerous platforms over the past 14 years, I am blown away...
