Update! So my E85 mail order tune from Dyno Brian has arrived.
I've hooked it up and took it on a spin today. I had about 1/8 a tank of 93 in the car, and I put 4 gallons of e85 in. I know that this mixture is no where near what I will want for the tune, but It was enough to get the car started and going.
Obviously, no WOT pulls yet, and I have the 3.3 pulley on and will work my way down as the car runs better. The car feels like it's miss-firing under boost on a 3.3 pulley, So I'm taking it easy as the 93 octane is probably making the mixture VERY rich. I plan to run the tank completely empty, then fill back up on e85 before any WOT.
I've noticed that my gas mileage is AMAZING! Yes I said it. I'm pulling 32 MPG cruising around at 75-80 on the highway on an E-85 calibration. However, I'm sure once I start getting on it, the story will change. I'm seeing better cruise MPG on this tune than my 93 octane tune (25-27HWY MPG) and I'm only seeing 31* of timing at cruise. So whatever Brian did, I like it... So far at least.
The car feels noticeably stronger in the low RPM's scooting around town when i accelerate (and this is comparing the 3.3 pulley on E85 to the 2.8 on 93). After this tank is drained, I'm going to put 1/8 tank of e85 in and drain it again then refill and go WOT and hopefully no rich Knock or miss-fires on the 3.3. If it feels good, I'm gonna put the 2.8 see what this fuel is all about.
