I have heard of multiple people having low readings from all over the place, I don't think its the testers. Weren't there a lit of low ass numbers at b4b too? Maybe this crappy e85 could be why? E70 to e85 made like a 15-20 HP difference on my Evo.
Dustins car only put down 618 at B4B but yet he previously made 600 on RS' dyno... go figure...

Corborns Belle Plaine e85 ethanol content, 70% woohoo!
Nice! While that is a drive for me, if I buy a full tank it may be worth it. :bengals:
What is the price per gallon?

Yea Bryce's car only made like 570ish too, it had made 580ish at DB two months ago, and 660 shootout, which is damn close to MAP numbers. Shane said he tested the Rogers E85 at 77% yesterday. Spaz filled up there and made some pretty decent power today.

So does everyone constantly change their tunes for the mixed blend?
Or is everyone's numbers changing purely because the mix changes and in turn the AFRs?

Just the mix and AFR's mostly. With my Evo the car was tuned on E70 for around 11.2-11.3 AFR, but when the full blend got to the pumps, it would lean itself out to about 12.2-12.3. On my car it was about a 20 HP/TQ difference

Shane tested fuel from my rail yesterday on the dyno - 72%. Came from the Holiday downtown minneapolis by the twins stadium.

Where do you get these testers?
Since '06 i've never tested it, just tune rich on the shitty stuff or tune good on the E85 and let it get rich as the blend gets weaker.
Would it make tuning easier?

Well, you would know what you're dealing with at least I guess. Buschnuts has them on his website for like $15. Seems to be about the going rate. I have one also, but its packed away with all my shit in the storage unit I think.
