Not sure where you heard that but that is not an issue on our cars and that sounds like uneducated hearsay, best bet is to look on the forums for true evidence of it actually performing well.

I've run it for three years now with no issues. Even during the winter with a a few adjustments to the tune it runs pretty damn well above 30 degrees F. Highly recommend a set of headers and an OFT tune or set of headers and a flex fuel kit and tune.

It livens the car up nicely and the power is definitely worth it as is the smoothness throughout the rev range. Only downside I noticed was the MPG hit honestly, but in reality with more power your probably tapping the gas more and more for feeling adding to the mpg hit.

If you live in a colder climate it may be best to look into steve99 and waynos tips in the tuning forum to improve the cold start performance with e85. Or you may entirely swap back over to the 93 octane tune before the winter hits.
