I'm not running a Gintani or RK E85 map, but i'm running a full e85 Tune from Alex at Alpine, stock fuel system, no flex fuel. All i have to do is run the car down to ~25 miles of range (on 93) go to an E85 station, fill up and then take my laptop out to switch maps, takes 5 minutes tops. I'm not really having any issues with a cold start. In sub 20 degree days the car starts up fine, But I do use the car almost every day. On some days where i haven't used the car in 2 days or so I'l get a long crank maybe 3-4seconds but the car will start first try.
In Mexico, I was able to beat a f80 zcp with a secondary cat delete, from a 40 multiple times. So I believe the car should be in the 400+ whp category. But I have yet to dyno. The drivability on E85 is perfect, the extra hp/tq down low really helps with every day driving, and the car pulls like no other. Also my MPG somehow went up switching from 93 to E85. If you were looking at an E85 tune, I'd highly recommend the E85 tune from Alex. I haven't ran into any issues and I've been running the map for a couple months now |

We were neck and neck each time, but I was inching up. I don't have all of the runs on video. Heres one of the runs, as you can see the car starts to pull away. I believe this was to 120. The only mods done to my car is Exhaust and Tune. stock intake stock pulleys. |

I believe an E85 tune is about $100 more
A normal tune is $620 (Unlimited revisions) and then for E85 i believe its $100 extra, so at 720 its a steal Last edited by HolyChitMeng; 03-17-2019 at 08:35 PM.. |

Thanks to you I will get Alpine Tuning from Alex and the price is amazing. Literally a steal! I have been using AA tune for about a year and half and I am not happy with it, and the price is really expensive.
I certainly want to make sure again that I can run E85 with stock system? |
