Thanks for the analysis cayman drive! I knew it had a huge effect on timing. I had never had my KCLV @ 24 and with this data, I can say our F love a blend of e85!

Thanks for this! I just purchased the same combo, looks like it has some interesting logging parameter options too.

Fyi don't out too much e85. I might've put a bit more on my last fill up and when I logged, the a/f stayed just a tad rich until close to redline. The car pulled timing and dumped a bunch of fuel killing top end power. I filled up again Saturday and used a bit less e85 and will test out the results sometime soon.

^^Would love to hear from you. I think I might had put in a tad too much. I have been putting in 4.5 gallons of e85 and 10 gallons of 91 octane. ALL fill ups were when my gas range is right around 3 to 0 mIles left. On my next fill up, I'm going 2 gallons e85 and 12 gallons 91 octane.

^^^^^^^Your fine that blend you have been putting in has been putting you at E33 nothing to worry about. No harm in going down either as that will put your blend at E21

I have been running a blend of about E35ish

Went down the street and put 3.5 gallons of E85 and the rest Shell 93. I have an appointment at Sound Performance tomorrow for a few dyno pulls after getting the RRRacing Tune a few months back. I'm FBO on gutted stock cats. Will report back tomorrow!

I'm interested to see how much you put down. I have the same mods and am planning to dyno soon as well. Good luck!

So i did a quick pull tonight and logged some data. The weather was good and the car felt great. I put the data into the virtual dyno software and this looks promising. This is also after i lowered my e85 amount to around 3.5 gallons versus the 4.5 i previously had in there.

Here's an overlay of when i used the virtual dyno in July. i tried to match everything the same vs the air temp that was the only change. the car might actually be heavier now since the july run was on a 1/4 tank vs 3/4 today. my settings might be wrong but you can see the A/F and the hp difference.
