Lol, how do you run the resonatorless remark exhaust, fully catless? Are your ears not constantly bleeding I can’t even imagine how loud that setup would be.

Anyway I have tomei UELs and have ran e85 for around 8000km. I have OFT but am using Wayne Roms e85 time. I’ll be honest I didn’t notice a huge different over OFT uel petrol tune but that might be as a result of me taking it very easy the first 200kms of driving and I may have forgotten what it previously felt like.

I’ve had no issues with it mechanically, car runs fine and doesn’t really feel that slow. I’m in cold weather right now and the car has never required more than 2 cranks to cold start. Still it only really pulls when you’re in 1st or 2nd. It still feels like the RPMs pause for a split second at 4K RPM. Also it’s likely just my tune running lean, but I noticed switching to e85 my exhaust sound changed slightly. Rumbled more and backfired more aggressively on petrol compared to e85 tune

I haven’t done a 0-60/ 0-100 yet but I would estimate around 6 seconds
