I'm not trying to be a PITA but I have no clue about tuning a Lexus. A GM I could help you with, but a Lexus...............Not so much (actually, not at all)

Thanks again!
I have no idea, I'm not a tuner. I'd email RR racing. Unless you just mean data logging, I use OBDLink MX+

I took a quick look, and I think Sector7 used an Alientech powergate 3+ and whatever software they sell with their kits. Looks pretty Expensive. https://www.alientech-usa.com/index.php/k-tag-device

Thank You Very much for the information Trey!

Yes Sir. I meant data logging. You can't build a good tune without data especially if they're doing a mail tune.

Ah, you initially asked for tuning software, so you can imagine my confusion. I data logged for Sector7 so I know how it works, in fact he actually recommended the OBDlink MX+. Its pretty easy to use, and gives access to some Lexus/Toyota specific data points, mainly KCLV that are pretty important. It's not the cheapest on the market but it works very well.

That swap has to be pretty tough to live with if your daily driving ⛽️ Whats it rev @ around 60 and 80mph?
The E85 LS460 is mine. Just now seeing this post. But yes 2k rpm at 60mph and about 3k at 80mph. The 13.82 was Stock Diff, Tuned on 93 no cats on 21” Tesla Model S wheels. Never ended up getting a clean dragy run in with the 4.08 and E85. The 4.08 either spun way too much full power or when peddling, it would wheel hop nasty and feel like it’s going to break something. On the only good run I was able to get with the 4.08 was on 285/40/18 Drag radials on 25 psi with a prepped surface with pimp juice. Car hooked hard as **** and left good, but the smaller wheel and smaller tire ended up being too much on top end with the Diff. Car runs really good on the rolls, where the 4.08 shines imo.

They've been doing it for YEARS without issue. A tune would help but isn't necessary because your only looking for cheaper fuel, not performance. You'll be fine running a blend. I run a E30 blend every other tank in my 460.
Yep, Been running straight E85 for over a year now. All good so far. Only problem is I had was during the winter time when the ethanol content was not very good(Jan-Feb), she would give some issues in the higher rpms at WOT. Just switched back over to 93 till spring and haven’t had any issues. Other than 9-12 Mpg average, E85 has been pretty nice so far. Plus that cold start smell 😁
