It would be a similar situation like Cobb. You'd have to adhere to whatever % you are tuned for. I worked with PFT to do some of their early custom tuning for e85 and we did a 50/50 mix. The Flash tunes can't compensate for the change as the AFR is set staticly so I always had to mix the correct amount. It's not a big deal, but it was one of the draw backs of a flash over a piggyback.

I know Joewee3.5 has a few times.
Shawn at SSI will be able to do anything you want. He will make you a tune, then make you data log it to make sure everything is doing what its suppose to be doing (No one else does this). Thats how he has come up with the best tunes for the EcoBoost, having my boy ^^Boostedlimited, Corey, do hours and hours of data logging. He has been tuning since the late 80s early 90s, and specializes in boosted engines. I PM'ed you his number, give him a call. He's a real cool guy to talk to.

That is correct Jake Shoe is his full name I believe. He owns Jakes Performance and makes some of the strongest overdrive transmissions you can buy. Really nice guy to talk to and has helped me out with my trans and tbrake setup.

Gotcha, the bimmers at least had the overhead in the fuel system. Will check with the guys at Socal.

Tuning is going to be enough you'll need aux fueling to compensate until somebody comes out with a DI fuel pump to really see the advantages. I'm pretty much the only one running a high percentage (full E85) of corn on the ecoboost platform. I'm working on an intake solution for the trucks that will be bolt in to allow for enough fuel.
