If a flex fuel sensor is detected, there is a full E85 map behind the scenes that turns on. It will scale boost depending on how much E85 the flex fuel sensor is detecting regardless of what map slot you are in.
You will get more power as you increase ethanol content all the way up to E85.
I can't seem to find the dyno chart right now but I can tell you it's a rocket at full power.

If this is true you've got me all happy on the inside. I am just surprised that flex fuel CustomROMs that can go all the way to full E85 don't mandate special plugs for St1 if it's a full E85 map behind the scenes. Definitely will want to consider upping the tq limits settings for boost by gear since 10% could be anywhere between 450 on E10 and 550 tq on E85 |
If you want to run full E85 on custom rom, you need to be thinking of running upgraded spark plugs. Also crank hub should be done as preventative measure.
These are the plugs you should be running on full E85 or any blend of ethanol:

Do those plugs come pre-gapped properly from the factory for the S55 in this application?
