Well yeah, but that goes for any power adding mod after that point.

I don't have a truck to pull my car, so bringing the car to and from a tuner from MS would be quite the hassle. If I was boosting it I'd do it, but the idea of a NA E85 setup is very appealing to me. An E85 tune costs exactly the same as non-E85 tune, and I'm not doing I/H/E without a tune, so choosing E85 is a no-brainer.
