Did you have to modify the fuel maps much and if so what injectors would be needed ?

Curtis if this had moved forward at all. I’m also thinking of running e85 in mine for track days. Not so much for bump in power but to keep temps down and maybe as stated by another member some more lower rpm hp.
They just installed a new e85 station less than a mile from my rural home so I’m super pumped since all my other ecoboost stuff runs e85.
As a side not I tested some amsoil 100:1 oil the last two days in e85. When I poured it in it went to the bottom of my glass jar. I thought well it didn’t mix.
So I shook it up and left it over night and the next day. Still is suspended as of today. So looks like it had to be mixed somewhat before. It’s possible just filling will mix but as this is for track use I’ll shake before I fill.
or possibly as stated before do a e50 blend and split the difference plus easy mix ratios

Might I suggest Red Line 40504

Sure, I was looking at that as I used to run that in some race sleds for a bit but found the amsoil better in that field.
I’m just assuming if it stays suspended and doesn’t separate I would see the same results with the amsoil as I did in the 2 stroke area.
I’m not stuck to anything yet just have a ton of cases of saber 100:1 still on the shelves and I am very partial to amsoil. But if it won’t work in e85 then of course I would use something else. Redline does make a great product.

Hi Brettus,
How do you go to the extreme limit with the omp?

I think what I meant there was that I found how much boost you could run with the omp adjusted to max without bending the apex seals.

Man, I can only imagine what you have going on. What engines are you running?
