I'm very curious as well.

In my never ending search of E85 results. I have seen some info on other forums of 100-200 degrees lower EGTs. There was no actual before and after logs however. So hard to say what else had changed: was the gas tune rich and the E85 tune lean, was the timing aggressive on one but timid on the other, what part does boost play, etc?

Id like to see back to back data, before and after an E85 tune, 11:1 AFR on gas and 12:1 AFR on E85 - I'd call that equivalent, with max timing on both, and at the same boost level. That would seem like a fair comparison of EGTs to me.

I would expect the EGTs on E85 to be 150 degrees less, perhaps even more if the gas was 91 octane.

What does anyone else think?

Not to dump on your post. But EGT are not a good way to tune. use a Wideband. Plus EGT are going to be much cooler then pump gas..

I wouldn't tune by EGT's so don't assume anything. I am tuned with a wideband o2 and a dyno, by a professional. I would simply like to know if my EGT's are reading right.
