I really feel like I should get an Ecutek soon… That torque dip is really annoying… :P

Can't wait to see what whp you get with a proper E85 setup!

There are good advantages. First of all you don't have to care if you find an E85 station or not, never. You just fill up with whatever pleases you and you don't have to have an almost empty tank, etc. Another advantage is that with a proper tune, you get maximized calibration for whatever amount of ethanol you have in the tank, be it E85, E32, E59, etc (quantity of E will vary depending how much 93 pump gas you had in the tank).


This is important because seasonally in USA the amount of ethanol in E85 gas varies, (to help cars cold start in really cold climates). So for example, in December I might get a tank of E70. That does not mean it is not safe for the car, but that performance will not be 100% of what it could be.

Thank you!! All amazingly useful information that I can now take into account when I make a decision on a tune/etc… You're awesome, sir! :happy0180:

Didn't thought about the diffuser because of the price, but for the right price I'd get one :-D

hahahahaah it's a small investment that's going to make a big Diffrence. It's nothing major like a huge front splitter or such; just a simple looking lip
