When you go back to 91 you just need to drive easy for a tank or two to be safe, and vice versa for going back to 91. That's why I'm getting a zietronics.

I'm running dual maps 91/E85. Currently have 91 map flashed to ECU. Let's just say, I miss running on E85, but I can still switch over any time I want. You won't be disappointed with E85, trust me.

What exactly are your upgrades. List them all out. Maybe we can give you a ballpark figure of what your figures may be. But numbers aren't always everything.

The zietronics will tell you exactly the percentage of e85 you have in the tank basically let's you know if you have to take it easy or not.

Ah, that seems very helpful haha.
I don't want my mileage going down that much...
I'm trying to reach around 375 torque and 350 hp...
Is that possible without e85 or meth without doing an engine build?

with a proper tune its rumored that both can give you up to a 20% gain on both hp and torque

How often do you need to fill it and how much is it to fill?
What power gains did you see?
Mileage the same?
Overall thoughts?

I have a Cobb acessport with 93/e85 and I love e85 you really do feel the power gain. E85 I get 210 miles per tank , and 250 miles per tank on 93 . But since e85 is cheaper it is around the same thing and switching is as easy as clicking a button
