JMS Tune E85 stock turbo.. Stock clutch slips while tuning on E85.

STOCK TURBO, STOCK CLUTCH, STOCK FMIC
I was getting my downpipe installed with my fuel pump injectors then tuned with my cobb ap on two maps 93 and E85, 93 map was my conservative map and made 345whp/349ftlb on 25 psi. Next day Jorge started tuning on E85 starting with 25 psi again and he said first pull started slipping so he left it at what I made down below in the graph till I get a new clutch. When I get a new clutch it'll be tuned for 29psi and will be adding a 3.5" fmic. All I gotta say clutch slippin or not I already love E85 and how smooth it is! Will be getting the retune done with the new parts in a couple weeks.

I know, clutch was strong though and held strong through the 93 tune. It started to slip a little so he just stopped.

ethanol is great. the area you live in might be using winter blend ethanol with a lower content. this could affect the tune.

Yeah I also heard about the winter blend thing here in San Antonio so that is why I'm waiting to get retuned in a few months once they have the correct blend.

They can do a lot for you man. It just all depends on what you want and what kind of setup you want. I been talking to JMS and buying some parts left and right and I'm happy with the direction my plans are going so far. I plan on dropping off my IX at JMS within these next two months for them to work on it and tune it for 93 and E85.
