E85 probably does pull harder at lower rpms, but for some reason gas feels like it has more grunt from a stop to me. Could be because E85 tune is smoother giving me the impression that it is not pulling as hard. Going to test it again on my next tank.
I'm also assuming OFT tunes are geared towards UEL headers, which could explain what I feel since I have Tomei EL headers. Might consider ecutek if it wasn't for California's new law that requires stock tune for SMOG.  |
Don’t know if it’s the same for you, but gas might feel like it has more grunt due to the change in exhaust tone.
For me after switching to e85 I noticed my exhaust was a lot more subdue. Sounded smoother compared to gas which would burble and sound louder.
I’m fully catless at the moment yet I still remember being more cautious of how loud my car was (when avoiding police) when I was on gas with my stock front pipe. Even if I rev up to 5k and let off I get no burbles
