Default Programmer with E85

Hi,

I'm driving a F150 (5.4L, Flexfuel).
I need to recalibrate my tire sizes, axel ratio, truck performances and gas efficiency, like evryone....
Problem: I'm running my truck with E85, and I read that most of the programmers you guys recommend are not made for that type of gas.

Thanks for your advices?

Most guys just simply do not run the E85 in their trucks. The E85 is less expensive but the trucks drink it up quick. You often times see serious drops in gas mileage. They recommend not using the tuner while running E85. That is about all I know. I ran it on my avalanche in performance mode with E85 and never saw a problem but I do not think I would try it again.
