This would be fantastic!
They've tested. It works. Probably is, it's not like na where your talking 10-20 hp differences with fuel. Your talking 150-200 hp differences
its no different than running flex fuel on an n/a car.
again, the problem is too much variance in hp
e85 vs 87 on an n/a car is 20 or so hp.
on a power adder car, your probably talking 200 hp,
its too much of a variance to throw out at cutsomers and not expect people to start killing engines
your running e85, then you want a "long drive mileage fuel" so you throw in 87 on 13lbs of boost, and kaboom

why not make that difference smaller? Not beso aggressive on the E85? Hell even a 50whp increase would be great!
then there would be no point
our e85 tune we are pushing 1075 rwhp, filling up with pump e85
if we put 87 in the car, even on a built engine, i wouldn't feel comfortable more than 600 wheel.
it simply makes it too easy to hurt things.
only way you could get close is say on an electronically controlled wastegate setup, where you can dial the boost back say 10-12 lbs.
and even then, it only takes one time to forget to change the gauge or hit a button and boom.
the cars can already correct up to 20% on it's own on fuel as far as the trims to start with, when your dealing with high hp, it's too much of a risk to give out
customer a says, i'm good with it
customer a blows engine......whos he gonna blame it on...........the tune.....
it's always blamed on the tune, we've been doing this a long time, never the customers fault....
for e85, you need an e85 fuel system. same as always.
as far as being offered. i don't think they will be offered to the general public for the reasons i've posted above
