Tuner waved magic wand and 45rwkw gain.That's a lot of boost 21 lbs! to make those figures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is one batch could be 80% so you have it tuned to that fuel. Then you fill up again and there is only 70% ethanol. Depending on the tune + a whole bunch of other crap you could damage the engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have one around the corner from my work with e85 but haven't had the car tuned to it yet.the eflex is a good fuel for the commodores since they can check the level of ethanol in the fuel and the computer makes adjustments to the tune on the fly.
