^ But who cares! Dat torque doh! Must be a ton of fun. Or 2 tons of fun if we're being honest.

Yeah, it’s cheaper than 87 octane here where I am at, and it is 105 octane. Win/win!

This kit is fricken amazing though, because it tunes in real time. It’s a true Flex-Fuel conversion, with performance in mind, not clean emissions, although it still retains the benefits of a cleaner burning fuel.

It took the RMS custom map (in my case, tuned on the track, they don’t have a 4 wheel dyno), and put a real time E85 tune that constantly measures ethanol content, and adjusts the map to the proper spec.

The torque at 50% already put a grin on my grill! I can’t wait to get her up to 85%. The track here I heard has E100, do I dare?
