In the past few weeks I have already dropped my HSAB down to a 0.028 (from 0.036), and that helped a lot. I got to thinking about it and I probably could just mix my e85 to be more like e75 and be able to jet down more. Currently the e85 pump closest to my house has been 92% ethanol. If I blend in more gas I should be able to run less jet, which might fix the issue....or maybe it wouldn't since the ratio would still be off....idk, just thinking out loud.




Ya, my 1050 had .037 hsb`s and was impossible to get it rich enuff at wot. I`m glad I didn`t jump on the E-85 band wagon and prefer a consistent fuel like the VP-101 unleaded which is legal even in your SUV and burns nice and clean to keep my O2 alive and way better than blending. Good luck............




I bet you would like e85 Thumper. My car went from a best of 10.79 on pump gas to 10.54 on e85...and that was my 1st day running/tuning e85. Not to mention that it runs SOOO MUCH cooler. I bet in the fall I will be posting a 10.4x time slip.

I could just get a 55 gallon drum and not have to worry about the variability at the pump, but for now I'll adjust as needed.

E85 shouldn't kill an O2 sensors with unleaded fuel as the gas component.

I'd run E85 except the closest station is 50 miles away.

+1. Unless the E85 is blended with leaded fuel, there are no dangers to oxygen sensors.

I`m good w/the 101 cos it`s close for now anyhow and E-85`s miles away....................
