I do not have that answer for you, but I switched from 93 because timing was always being pulled out due to knock. Now I'm nowhere near knock on my data logs. If you're N/A like me, I only had to buy injectors and get tuned.
I'll be sticking N/A, I'm sure switching to e85 from 91 will be pretty beneficial. I'm curious on your trailer and towing. Any more pics of that? You can dm me thats fine.

I do have more pics, but I've never figured out how to attach them in a pm. I've raced in 5 states at 6 different tracks from FL to Michigan. When I go to a local track I use the cargo carrier just for extra fuel. I race with less than a 1/4 tank to keep the weight down and ad a gallon or two at a time.

Isn't E85 the "flex fuel".....and I did not think that any of the 2015 - 2016 Mustangs were Flex Fuel capable !?

That's true as far as injector size and tune, Flex cars have injectors large enough to supply the 30%+ more volume needed an the computer is set up to run either. Even Flex cars will tell you to run your tank down before putting one or the other in, so the tune can adjust for it, it's not set up to run a mixture. We have hard lines in our cars and not rubber, rubber doesn't like E85.

When testing E85 when do we not run it if the percent of ethonal is too much or not enough? I'll be Lund tuned e85 so I guess they tune for 85 percent ethanol right?

So we have no rubber in our entire fuel system?

LUND will steer you with the right info. E70 is still 98 octane. I thought I should bring mine down, but Ethanol does not act the same as High octane gas, like 110, too much octane in race gas can slow you down, but E85 doesn't hurt us, my first batch was actually E90. Now if your FI a lower batch say E70, could cause problems, but N/A will not be affected.

Unless you're talking o-rings no. We have the hard plastic at the pump and metal and hard plastic up to the fuel rail. N/A power levels at this point can run on the stock pump, not even a pump booster is needed. Back in the 90s I lost an Aeromotive pump in a low 9 sec. because I was running street gas, which even then has some ethanol in it. Most company's now use ethanol compatible material. Remember our 93 is 15% ethanol, so our cars are already getting it.

You should watch this. It will eventually answer your question.
So I'm assuming it's 9.7 range

So Lund couldn't get the ngauge to show the correct AF. Maybe they can
