E85 + 87 = better than 93?

We're guessing before it goes in and measure it after it goes in. Good scan tools can read alcohol content and you can even buy a little bluetooth obdII adapter and use the torque pro app on a phone to view it and codes.



No it was me not thinking right and frustrated. Too much traffic and way too many knuckleheads on the road today. I guess it was just too hot outside for the tune and I only did it once. I really need to record it or have someone watch it while I'm driving, it seemed to pull timing back at the top of the gear or right as I was letting off the gas. Not really a good test, didn't repeat it because of traffic. Did I tell you that I hate traffic? I love to drive but not when people are on the road! Like to be off the road when people are going and coming from work.

Do you not have a way to record the live data and look back at it?

Yes, the Tech-2 can record the live plot or data and play it back or I could hook up the AutoCal and do the same but watch it later on the computer. Well, both can be played back on their respective computer programs. I guess we should take her out one night for some full throttle runs again.

Those intake gasket bolts were a little loose, we torqued them down though, no codes and trims aren't crazy and go to zero when you're cruising at a steady speed. But then the right bank today got "stuck" at -3% for a while after both had been at zero for a while. It's too low to be a safety thing but just something I noticed.

Maybe hit a pocket of gasoline in the tank.

Is that even possible after an hour of constant driving, 45 minutes with the motor off and another 90 minutes or so running again??? Seems it would be good and mixed by then but what do I know? :rolleyes:

I would think so, too. Their specific gravities arent significantly different, so one doesn't really float on top of the other, per se, but they do not create an azeotrope either, so you never know.
