Right but as Engineer Mike pointed out the stock fuel system can't supply enough E85 a those high power levels.
In my way of thinking this could cause the engine to run lean and nuke itself. I'm thinking about this right?
More I think about it, a wideband AFR gauge like UnBroken has would be a wise investment.

A P1X on a 18 GT went from 5xxwhp to 846whp on the same 10psi pulley. Pump to E85.
I’m sure the whipple will be similar.

Thanks! Still learning here....Does the AFR meter that UnBroken posted use the factory sensor via can/odb2 or an external sensor?
Is all of this not important because the way Whipple tune is written?

Matt is good and great to work with. He was the only one that would tune my Procharger tuner kit on my 2016 in October of 2016. No one wanted to take on the MAP setup with Forced Induction. Lund, VMP & etc. would not touch it.

e85 is a bit different than gasoline... it's got a higher cooling effect than gasoline so running lean on e85 has a larger window before it would cause an issue. detonation on e85 would likely be more common with boost number over 2 times that and/or a ton of timing (or maybe super high intake temps?).
