But with an agressive high HP map the flex part is not possible I believe. you can still run a 91octane map and a E85 map, but these have to be downloaded separately and on empty tanks.

If I'm wrong please educate me. Thanks.

Nope, spot on.

My current mods are in my sig. I want to get a 9 turbo soon with a built bottom end with everything ported except the head (for now). When I'm tired of using the 9 turbo I'll send it in to get the Red. Or I'll go HTA86.

I'm currently desiring BR built engine with either a Red or a HTA86.

Yes I'm on stock ECU. I'm just wondering what running the stock ECU has to do with running E85?

All you need to convert to e85 is a single walboro pump, fuel rail, 880's or higher injectors, and a good tune. Don't let anybody tell you you need a fuel pressure regulator because the stock is fine. You don't even need a fuel gauge.

Stock fuel rail is fine too. I've been running mine since May, no problems, my tuner has been running stock fuel rail for nearly 3 years now on E85....IX turbo, 30R and now a 6262 but he IS bumping up to a double pumper and 1200's.

Stock 8 or 9 turbo, single walbro, 880-1000cc injectors, and a tune. Good to go. I'm lucky to have 2 stations within 10 minutes drive, and several more just about anywhere I head. I get a full tank for about....17$, its awsome. Night and day difference between them. LOVE IT

It sounds like your tuner and my tuner are the same person Ya it's about $1.39 over here, I'm lovin' it too except for the extra trips to the pump. It's worth it though for the extra power!
