So for someone like Ptuning certifying a flex fuel kit for carb, they would have to provide emission test data for 8 years the car was run even though there were basically no changes to the engines from 13-16’ and 17-20’. It’s just not financially feasible.

Well remember that they are selling a flex fuel kit, a CARB/legal tune, an ECUTEK, and a license for ECUTEK. It adds up, but I’m also talking about something for like FI kits. If a company like Edelbrock is selling a SC with everything except the FF kit and injectors then just add in the FF kit and injectors as standard and that gives the community the overhead to run dual tunes for the track and all someone’s need to do is add a smaller pulley and flash to a track tune, and then when they leave the track they swap to the CARB tune and associated pulley, which takes 30 minutes total. Completely legal versus having to pull injectors and flex fuel kit on and off the car to be legal. A legal path is the way to go.

Even if someone didn’t have regular access to E85, it would be an option for the track or when out of the area. Manufacturers obviously sell FF vehicles to areas without E85. Same thing.
