How many especially gen 3 owners have done E85 tune and bolt ons and decided it was enough and didn’t venture forward with boost?

E85 woke up my Mach 1 and I'm happy with the power level and ability to maintain traction and overall drivability on street tires. I was considering an ESS boost upgrade to keep further supporting modifications manageable for daily use and occasional HPDE track days until I got a ride in a tuned BMW M3 that was basically stock and able to use its 750 horsepower without wheelspin concerns. If I want more horsepower than my existing Coyote, I'll convert to a car with AWD.

It pushed my power to 469 whp and 434 wtq. I also added a 150 shot of nitrous, bumping power to 639 whp and 602 wtq, and that still wasn’t enough. Now I’m back looking for more with a turbo.

It sounds like boost is on your mind. If so, I recommend waiting on the tune until you get all mods in place, so that you don’t have to pay twice for the tune.

I had an E85 tune for a while and LOVED it... then went ESS.

Same thing happened to me and my Mach. E85 tune fun lasts for a few months until you just want more and more. I'm still happy on my 120 pulley now, but already thinking about more again...
I also did the same, probably within 4 months of going e85.
E85 was great but being boosted is definitely more fun. Although I do miss the good smell and the clean exhaust tips!
