Any chance for a 30% E85 tune?

I know we can't run E85 but other DI engines are able to handle a 30-50% mix of e85 and tune for a pretty good gain. I'd pay a few bucks to have that option for track visits. This may have already been discussed. If so, my apologies.

You might not need a tune for it. The truck will sense, through knock sensors, that there is more octane and should adjust. Might take a couple passes but it will.

The tune, you probably could get more out of it by tuning but a remote tune like that is going to be complicated.

Funny thing is I ran with a 30% mix last trip at the track. I didn't know if it helped or hurt not being tuned for it. 13.9 @ 97 with the truck in sig minus downpipes. I'm headed back Sunday with straight 93 to see how the downpipes helped. I was just seeing if there were a few extra ponies available before I went.
