What Lamba's are you guys heading for?
Got this back today from the tuner. (Open doc and hover over bottom rhs to magnify it.)
Glad that fuel additive is working for you Eric. We're going to do the same.

You could probably lean it out a little, but not knowing exhaust temp does not help on how to balance Lambda with ignition timing, which is still pretty low IMHO, at least in absolute terms.
Looks like the engine is finally being revved beyond 7k?

I seem to remember we were somewhere around 7.5 back in the past on the stock 2.5 motor.
Yeah they rev it past the 'wall' for overall tuning purposes.
Ign is still low. Map from latest tune. Sorry, not the easiest to view.

Yeah, not the easiest to read. Sorry. The degrees are the same. The load is in Kpa which converts to psi.

Interesting article:

I am thinking the days of readily available E85 are numbered. I talked to the guy at the E85 station and he said most of his E85 sales is to the race community.

I pay about $670 for a 44 Gallon drum. Bit more than you I'm guessing!

Actually make that $765 (inc $72 for shipping) for 52 U.S. Gallons...(or $3.82c per litre) It's 116 Octane race fuel though. I wouldn't use it in a road car. I think our normal pump E85 is just under 5 dollars for a US gallon. About $1.35c per litre at the pump. Looks like it's about 0.80c per litre for you guys.
I keep telling you guys how good you've got it over there!

It used to be $1.00 when they first released it via United 4-5 years ago. Someone's making some bucks out of this stuff!
