FFV's run on normal oil and use no special treatments or coatings before runnign e85, when most people drive them for miles and miles on regular gasoline.

That website is a sham. Injectors, A/F adjustments, are pretty much all you need to run E85.

I will be interested in the albany meet if my car is tuned

Sean Ivey has been hard to get ahold of as he is having trouble/not able to use his facility and is busy trying to relocate, Turbotrix is a last resort, I had a rough experience with them in the past.

Seth from Moon may actually be setting up a tuning area at the meet. Or you should get tuned beforehand. Either way, it'd be great to have ya here. Would be nice to meet more evo owners in the surrounding area. You going to goto the Evo/WRX shootout?

Ivey is already having problems. He just opened. Is it noise complaints?

I'll do an E85 tune.
What type of wideband are you using? It'll have to be calibrated because E85 changes the way the sensor reads AFR's.

What EMS are you using?

I've only used the Zeitrronix for a brief period. I have to look into whether it can be changed to read 85% E.

I've never used Ecutek, but would probably just Ecuflash it with my own tune.
Regardless, they're all very similar.
