I'm gonna look into an eXede piggy back with harness and have Shiv load me two switchable maps on 880cc injectors (one map for 93 octane, the other for e85). I believe that this is what he accomplished with his 91/e85 tunes...

Shane at DB Performance spent a lot of time working on the driveability factor and part throttle cruise, I wouldn't expect my gas mileage to drop much from what it is unless my foot starts to get a little heavier.

e85 was interesting while watching the AFRs, I see why everyone says its a lot like tuning on race gas. Some of the first pulls were done at 10.25:1, 10.5 :1, 10.75:1, and then 11:1 all at the same PSI and timing. All of the pulls made similar power, I hope that leaning it out further will show some bigger gains. Shane was taking it in small steps, one small change at a time and going over all the data, he needed to let me go as I was down to a couple gallons of fuel and it was 2 AM on a Wednesday night and I had work in a few hours. I'll be back for the last bit of tuning hopefully soon.

What power numbers at what boost levels and what size injectors at what duty cycles?
