Getting 85% in iowa during winter blend
I have my tune at AMS in March but am having trouble tracking down e85 for it. My car is already tuned on e85 and im trying to find 55 gallon drums 5 gallon pals anything that is infact 85% not 70%. Any help would be much appreciated guys.

If you have no luck finding a good price on E98 to blend down with- you could buy some Rockettbrand E85 for tuning -- but just be aware it is going to be priced like race fuel. AFR on it should be similar to pump E85 but the hydrocarbon part is race gas and octane will be a tad higher (4-5 points)

Or what you could do is just have them tune it conservatively on the e85. Im not sure what your setup looks like but Im running the stock 8 turbo at around 400/400 with a pretty aggressive timing/fuel curve and have "0" issues with knock on e70 winter blend. Just doesnt feel quite as quick as on the good stuff
