Second day after the fuel trims have stablized I topped up the E85 and hit the canyons. It didn't feel like night and day difference but it was definitely very noticeable. The engine is now more eager and better matched for the handling of this car. Car no longer feels it is handicapped by the engine. Downshifts and rev matching is a bit faster and more precise. Did some pulls against my S2000 with wife behind the wheel and it's neck and neck.



Do you mean after a few tanks of E85. Switch tune back to 91 and run a tank of 91 then switch tune back to E85?
Yeah some people suggest running a tank of 91 every once in a while because its supposed to contain higher levels of detergents. Not sure it's necessary but can't hurt either.
