So I have the Ford performance power pack tune on my 2020 already. Bored of it and looking for more. What kind of gains would be seen with going E85 tuned on top of that?
Have to find a custom tune to work with the hardware.

I'd look to do headers and a PBD dyno tune since they're relatively close enough. Just curious if the gains would be worth the cost over the pp tune I currently have. I'd imagine it'd have to be but not sure.

The headers are a no go for me. I don't think it's worth the effort especially if you have to smog the car.

Realistically about another 20 HP. + or - 10

What is the "Ford performance power pack tune" ? What's your whp now? I've heard that going with E85 on a pretty much all stock car will get you about 20 puls hp. The massive gains are when you combine E85 with a supercharger, return fuel system (have to add that) bigger injectors......then you will see berserk numbers. I would suggest PBD ALL DAY LONG. They did my tune and mine is spot on! I wish I lived down there so they could do mechanical work too!

I will also say our tuner is going to net you more than the ford tune. We step on them more and also offer revisions for anything you'd like if you want certain things in the tune changed we can do that. We also offer free logging as well as free tunes for life

If you gained 20whp on the FP setup (max likely) you could see another 20whp on e85. More with long tubes. E85 tune on a stock car alone is 30-40 on its own in many cases. But would need a new tuning device and make sure the tuner is aware of the existing FP hardware.
