I understand you need to put more E85 into the camber to make power but how about a system that lets your run E85 with and get the same MPG as 93 and when you want to get down with the get down it changes.

idk if that makes any sense to anyone but i hope you know what i mean.
One example: Some people don't have E85 near, so they decide to run E85, do a 50 mile trip to get it. Then at 1/4 tank they decide they want more gas. At this moment they don't need to run the tank out if E85 and do not need to do the 50 mile trip to get more E85. They can just fill with 93 and the sensor will take care of the rest.

Second example, out of nowhere you get an invitation for track day tomorrow and you want to run E85 but unfortunately you are half a tank of 93. Presently, you are out of luck, you have to run the tank out and refill E85 or give up the idea and run 93. With this kit, you can get at least part of the E85 performance improvement benefit and get certain percentage ethanol which will be better than a 93 fill.

Also, for some people that don't drive their car every day, it can be a bit of a concern leaving ethanol in the gas tank sitting for days because moisture can build up. With this kit, I can fill 1/2 with ethanol, use it for track day and then if at the end of the day I know the car is going to be sitting for a week I go ahead and fill it out with 93 and don't mind the amount of Ethanol that was left.....

Its just a matter of expanding in the goods that we already have.

Lastly, a kit that will make E85 have the same MPG than 93 (like switch to a map that allows that) I think would mean you would be making less power than the stock car, so in that case it is better to have two maps to switch to, one 93 and one E85... But again, this solves it all!
