There's a pretty big KR threshold difference in 93 non eth and 93 at 10%.

sure its not a broken exhaust manifold bolt?
E85 would not result in detonation, it would actually prevent it. It has a higher "octane" rating than normal fuel. E85 is becoming more and more popular among racers.Quote:

E85 is higher octane and less BTU so it takes more fuel volume for the same power level....this is why E85 gets worse MPG and requires tuning tweaks to get more out of than all gas as well as why it will cause clatter when used with an agressive all gas tune.
Can you get a tune for 93 oct +10% or E85, or are all tunes currently restricted to gas only? I ask mainly because here in DC, everything is pretty much E85
With a live tune it can be done.Quote:

Talk to whoever is doing your tune. I would hope if they can tune a vehicle for premium that they can tune it for ethanol content also.
Yeah, Im sure the local tuners can do it, but I was just trying to be a good site member and support Nelson. Mail order tune, yes or no?
