Yeah, I have yet to see a dyno that makes a CAI worthwhile, other than engine bay dress up. I'll stick with my drop in.

The Lund E85R though!!! I love my tune...
My guess is that the Steeda will actually add something. I am still not convinced with the JLT.

The down side is that it brings on timing slowly. You don't get that little bump on the low-mid range that makes E85 so much fun. It is a pain to flash back and forth though. I just wish there were more E85 stations, and better detergency, so this wouldn't ever be an issue.
Ah, bummer! I was hoping there'd be no downside. Thanks for the info!

I'm sure it will add something but the HP to $ ratio is gonna suck bad.
Most mods after an E85 tune just donā€™t give much bang for the buck.

I bought this PP1 A10 car just to do one main mod. E85. The car needs nothing else imo for fun street car. I have gone over the deep end in mods too many times in the past. Factory car plus tune done. No more chasing #ā€™s. :).

yellow 2016 5.0 totaled white 2018 A10 now
After putting my 2016 Cobra Jet setup on its lid I plan on just doing full Kooks exhaust and E85 tune and call it a day. Ill put more into wheels tires and a few cosmetics this time around.

This 10 speed truely is the business!!

Here's the results we got on our 2018.

This is perhaps the most awesome thing I have ever seen on this forum. The only way this could get any better is if you added price per level of mods so you can see bang for the buck factor. As is, this is extremely helpful information! Thank you for publishing this. :)

I wish I could run that much timing. CA 91 unleaded and the knock sensors show up at 4lbs of boost. I only have 13 total at 7500 , but it went 11.23@129 on 20" radials. :)

Hey guys, what do you guys do about cold weather running e85, is there something the tuner can do to make the start a little less agonizing?

I run it year around. What kind of starting problems to you have? Just fired mine up in 32 degree air temps. No change from how it runs versus summer. Who is your tuner?

I have yet to make the switch, the weather has been low 30s and I was nervous cause people have said they have experienced trouble with the car cranking when it is cold. I suppose I should just throw it in and see how it goes.

Thank you for sharing your experience, it puts me a bit at ease.

Mine starts fine in the cold, but takes some extra cranking on warm restarts.
