Never had an issue with AED or Lund.Such as?
OK, I don't drive it that much, so it takes a while to drive the fuel out.This just reiterates what many folks and my tuner have said about the flex tune. It's a convenience thing meant for switching fuels. It's not really designed to be used as an everyday tune.
@MaskedRacerX - it's very possible the flex tune is your problem. I'd do what you suggested. Run it out of ethanol, put 93 back in and load the 93 tune again. More than likely your issues will go away.
If you want to run E85 I suggested a dedicated E85 tune. It will run much more consistently and give you better performance.
Like I said, I'm not 100% sure what my next move is, but I wind up with another tune, I'll probably go back to Torrie, he's excellent, and you can't beat using someone local.It's the tune IMO. Go to Lund. I don't think you'll have those issues.
Yeah, I can't do a dedicated E85 tune, none local, don't want to store it, not interested in hassling with the tune swapping, ect. Thanks for the input though, it's been a big help!Also I would simply forego the flex tune. It just isn't an ideal daily tune, even though it can be used as that. For E85 just run a dedicated tune. It will run a whole lot better and be a TON more lively around town.
I understand. I also know another person who experienced similar issues with AED running the flex tune, so I think that you shouldn't be having these issues to be quite frank. Idk Torrie but its certainly an option and I could see why you would want to deal with someone local. I'd just give Lund a try because they've just tuned so many Mustangs. And their customer service in my experience with them is just perfect. But, whatever you decide to do, I think your issues are solvable and doubt its anything wrong with your setup.Like I said, I'm not 100% sure what my next move is, but I wind up with another tune, I'll probably go back to Torrie, he's excellent, and you can't beat using someone local.

I think I will reinstall the 93 tune tomorrow, just to get a few days with it, see if all the janky behavior is all sorted out (meaning, something about Flex tune/fuel was off ...)
I have had Lund 91/93, flex fuel, and E85R tune for 6 months and after switching to each and doing datalogs and a couple emails back and forth I can switch between any tune I have and have absolutely no issues at all. If there ever is an issue I simply email my tuner and he always replies within an hour during business hours. Even if it's just questions about upgrading parts or turbo kits or what he suggests for my car! If you ask me you absolutely can not beat Lund Ngauge and tunes!!!anyone else have some input on this subject? who are the tuners having issues? looking at the feedback not everyone is having an issue. also I'm not sure i want a flex fuel tune but a dedicated 85 with a 93 is fine by me......thanks for the input
Day 2 with the 93 tune, started as expected, idled smooth, took it down to my "test area", did my stall test, and it did not, I tried several times, couldn't generate any problems, and no CEL indicator.So I did my errand, came home, cleared the DTCs, re-flashed the 93 tune. Fired it up, sounded a bit different, throttle response felt more immediate, over to the ramp, did the stop-heavy-throttle-stop like 20 times, and it did not stall. I pulled out and stood on it and it was strong, and the throttle was immediate, in standard quick, in S+ hard, shifts that broke the rear end very loose on the 1-2 shift (TC came in big time).
I'll continue to test things over the next few days, see there's any errant behavior, any CELs, any stalls, etc., and report back in.
