What's the deal with E85

[WildHorse]

Again, stock tune will never advance the timing that high. Not even close...

what's the max?

Would need to log your car to find out...

I bought my 2015 new and have been e85 tuned since before the car had 1,000 miles and now has 30k miles of absolute 8k rpm beating. Yea, its definitely not worth voiding your warranty...

31-32 degrees full timing off the hit is wonderful with zero knock! I would honestly sell this turd if I had too run pump n/a on it.

Really ? because we have local guys running 10.6 and 10.7 at 128-130 mph on pump gas 94. No additives used.

With 3 bolt on. Cold air / Headers / Tune
Paired on slicks

Turd you say ?

At 3200 lbs race weight, sure.

The tune will give you your full timing earlier in the lower range. So that gives you alot of torque and thats what you feel in your seat. Also timing liftoff on shifting and torque management free'd

Stock tune aint bad by itself, but they can't delivery a car that an old man will pump 87 into the tank and melt a piston due to lack of knownledge. Have to keep it safe for everyone

0 Weight removal, not even the tire pump in the trunk. Everything in place

Good DA and fast track. 94 pump (yes we have ethanol % in it) it come like that. The tune is well done and work for 3 guys using the same setup

My PBD E85 tune commands 30 with the knock sensors being happy at -3 all the way out to 7800 ....

My 2018 stock tune was commanding 24.5 on 93, the knock sensors were -1 .. The PBD 93 tune was seeing 26 IIRC.

Currently running the PBD 93 and can't really tell a difference on the street, the A10 will still rip the tires off WOT hitting 4th..

Great performance enhancer.....just know upfront, if you don't like your gas mileage now, you are really not going to like it on E85.

Okay then didn't know the octane rating was so much higher that explains very much. Not worth voiding the warranty to me but in a couple of years who knows. Much thanks everyone. I'm pretty happy with the humpf it's got now.

the third guy is 10.6 and is a member here, same track same setup. Weight difference is the red one is premium and 3.55 so its heavier

Geesh, why didn't I think to look at youtube! 100% honesty on the internet, always. What was I thinking. I guess my car would run 10.0@135 at your track then. Sounds good to me.

Im local and this is the track we all go at, its known to be fast but is NHRA and times are not fakes. Just like atco is fast aswell, we are advantaged by the great DA and our 94 is better than usa 93. Close to what E85 can give you. Sadly no pump here offers ethanol so we do with it

The setup is 3 bolt on with traction. No lie at all, seen it from my own eyes. At the same track a lund tuned e85 with ported barber intake and equivalent bolt-ons ran 10.9 best times but mostly 11.1
