I wonder if the ECU shifts timing a bit with more ethanol.....

I didn't want to blend too much so I ended up with 1.2 gallons at the pump. Raced a bone stock stingray corvette from 60-120 and it was practically a tie race, but I was at least half a car ahead. I also smoked a M235i by bus lengths from a 60-130 run and the guy followed my exit to ask what was done to my car and loved it.

It doesn't show the Sig in full so you never get all the info.
I'll use MK7GTI as an example:

Thank you, Thank you!
Now that it's out, is it just ROW parts and a bigger fuel pump they added? We're not talking seals, etc., right? It seems the stock setup is good for long-term moderate E-mixes.
Oh, and about the "effects of too much 85" write-up, is there a definite way for us to know that a lean condition isn't there, let's say, in the logs? What do we look for?
Thanks everyone!

I have run up to 33% e85 summer blend on top 93 pump. Car runs great on it. Stock ecu with piggyback and catless dp. Cheaper than Octanium for 101.
I got a "lean off idle" when I went like e80 a few months ago. Ran perfect and no codes at e50 though.Thank you, Thank you!

Do we know if APR is still planning on dropping tunes for flex fuel? This kit looks great, but I am sure a lot more people would be interested if it was paired with flex fuel tunes. I know I would be.
I have been running E30 and even that is noticeable without specific tuning. I would be really interested to see what the is20 and is38 can pump out on full e85.
