If everything looks good, you should be able to run up to E60 with the Dorch Stg 1 in the summer for more timing advance & power, and E50 in the winter. Altho, I’ll drop to E30-35 in winter so cold start cranking isn’t as bad.

Changing bn Emixes during the year and pump gas on road trips is where the ethanol sensor and Multimap become very convenient.
Great info thanks. I do not have any kind of ethanol sensor at the moment so it would have to be a manual calculation but I figure if I stay on my 93 octane tune for now no harm in bumping up the octane a bit without knowing the exact content %.

So the stock LPFP is fine handling Ethanol?

Looks like you are in Maryland, I am in the NOVA area, any stations you recommend for E85?
