Probably the E85 tune is really an E60 tune if pump E85 is being used since it is well known the E content can vary.

I use 3 stations locally and test periodically, always test 78% and above. Car was actually tuned on e78 as we tested prior to filling up. But yes, once your E content is above 65 you are “safe”.

Yes, i have a g2 supercharger kit 14psi with rktune. Was having spark blow out issues with oem ngk plugs. Put 97506 gapped to .20 and car pulls normally now.

No point in going to colder plug unless youre running built motor level boost and your car is cutting out during wot pulls. Spark blowout Feels like hitting redline.
