E85

[ZyMy]

2015 Mustang GT: So I have been researching E85. From my research I am lead to believe as long as you have stock intake manifold and CAI, you do not need different injectors or anything else to make the switch. Anyone else switch to E85 and not have to make any changes? How much power did it make?

To run e85 in your 15, you need nothing.

To make more power you need injectors and a tune

Stock manifold you are fine with stock injectors.

How much power did it make?

It makes more power under the curve, low end torque will be better. Top end is about 20 HP

I went back to a 93 tune due to the hassle of finding E85 and the reduced gas mileage. The 2 stations that had real E85 quit selling it and now the closest station is 15 miles away and they sell "flex".

Just an unlimited credit card for the tune & E85

Not with a stock intake manifold.

Not with a stock intake manifold.

Will the stock injectors work for more power or should I upgrade for more power?

So the Mach 1 has a gt350 manifold and I don’t need different injectors To run e85.
Just the tune.

My 15’ was lund tuned E85 stock injectors. I may have changed the plugs or re-gapped them but that was for my peace of mind.

I always thought you needed injectors on the 15-17. I tuned my 15GT but didn't want to change injectors so never did E85.

The gen 2, 15-17 does not need injectors for E85 with the stock intake manifold.

You can upgrade but it is not necessary unless you are also upgrading the intake manifold. CAI is fine.

Stock injectors are fine, they run about 70% with E85.
