It seems clear that the eflexfuel device intercepts the signals from the DME to the injectors and increases the open time for each injector by an amount related to the % ethanol in the fuel. As far as I can tell, the AFD device does the same. So why does AFD they claim a performance increase?

If I'm thinking about it correctly, a performance increase can only result from DME adaptation to the higher octane fuel so that it delivers the maximum timing advance allowed. If you are already using gasoline with a high enough octane so that you are achieving the most advanced ignition timing, how do you get any increase in power output?

Am I missing something?
To add, if youre getting a E85 tune from any of our vendors, and use this kit what are the outcomes? Without physically loading a E85 or 91/93 oct or any mix there of tune, this kit seems pointless unless the tuner offers additional hardware to tie in this kit so the maps can switch on the fly from the ethanol sensor?
