If I put in a tank of E85, the DME using the flex fuel hardware will make adjustments in real time (adjusting fueling, timing, etc) to the Stg 1 93 Oct map to produce more HP/TQ. This map is clearly not optimized for E85, but what will be the percentage increase in HP/TQ with E85 in the tank while running this map? 10% increase? 20% increase? : ...
Solid question as Im determining if I should get whatever components are required to run the available Flex Fuel setup. If the gains are marginal it might not be worth the time/effort.
