The OTS E85 tune a quite conservative. The only dangerous thing without a flex sensor would be going back to E10 without reflashing. I’m lucky where I live to have E85 literally all over the city so...

Skid plate is only aluminum. No match for a 2600lbs car impacting the ground. I would have thought the bump stops would prevent going that low though.
