You've only got about 250 cups of fuel in a tank.

Why do I find it funny you measure in cups😂

I just used that example cos it's something that everyone is very familiar with. 

 

The 6 injectors at 50%dc will use a cup every 5 seconds. 

 

I see about 45%dc on 98 at wot and high rpm in my territory.

 

Cup of coffee....cup of goon....cup of fuel...gone in 5 seconds or less.

E85 is equivalent to about 107 octane unleaded, in terms of it's knock-resistance, so it can be leant on significantly harder than even 98, in terms of timing etc which would normally produce knock/detonation on 98, which means you can get much earlier and more consistent power curves through the revs, but at the cost of having to input 30% or so more fuel into the cylinder to get adequate combustion at all. You must tune for whatever octane fuel you're looking to gain advantage from the higher resistance, to have almost any perceptible benefits :)

do you think it worth to downgrade (down tune) from e85 to 95 or 98. I don't want to give up on turbo. and the same time save as much $$$ I can.

now I have 520 kw, I don't mind if I get 300 kw form down tune it.

you might think I am stupid doing this. that because I just bought and the previous owner spend over 16K on it and I paid cheap for it so  don't mind AND PLUS I CAN TUNE IT AND to GET 520KW BACK anytime for only 200 to $300.
