[QUOTE="braptorin, post: 1559573, member: 23439"] Super clear and helpful, thanks! After searching around I'm finding that there are a variety of "tuners" that look for power gains from E85. As far as I can tell there are kits as simple as a software tune and as complex as parts that include Ethanol sensors and some improved fuel delivery components. Notably those "improved components" seem to be higher flow/capacity pumps that I can infer are just to get more fuel to the engine since a ~200hp gain is going to use a lot more fuel (that's the HP gain claim). I'm actually in CA as E85 is way cheaper than any grade of normal pump gas, so I'm not actually looking for power gains, just cost savings. I don't want those to come with any negatives... does E85 naturally wear parts faster? is it corrosive? I'm just making things up to get my point across. I'm going to dig more to see what my options are. thanks! [/QUOTE]
