It was a serious question, in terms of looking for an answer.
You can have a reading of 11.5 on a wideband, yet match your correct E85 a/f based on E85 Stoich.
exactly^^
11.5 on e85 is roughly 17.6 if spraying gas.
The change to e80 would richen it up slightly ... dont have a calculator in front of me... not sure what the point of the question is.
BMR Tech are you trying to argue that a change in tune wouldnt be necessary? Of course you are.....being a tune salesman. I definitely understand your fear with the amount of money being thrown at tuners in this community.
:beer:

I see what you're saying but to me, I would rather just understand lambda and know that 1.00=stoich, anything lower is rich, anything higher is lean. It makes it much more simple to know where my fueling is and is much easier to understand.
BMR Tech doesn't sell tunes. He's one of the most knowledgeable people about mustang suspension that I've ever talked to and he has provided valuable information to myself and many others for years.
Touche then my appologies.
Either way... good luck OP... Im sure youll be back up and running in no time.

^^^ exactly, and hurts nothing. Have seen people tune for e85 and run e70 and only saw it go rich, at 1400rwhp. Not until about E50 did we see a performance loss
it can melt because E85 has such a high detonation threshold. But no knock, and and nothing is torched.
Your car is new. Only people I ever see w sludge problems are older cars that ran their entire lives on gas, then make the switch. If that had anything to do with this here it would have shown piston or plug damage from fuel blockage.

The black gunk came from, gas stations that converted to e85. They put the e85 in regular gas tanks, which the e85 stripped (cleaned) all of the shit out of the gas tank, which the people pumped into there cars. The black gunk is something you don't hear about anymore because people got smart and realized what it did and now there are stricter regulations on e85. Thorntons Gas station has e85 safe tanks and pumps at all of there stations. I could go into even more detail but I've must of posted this 20 times now on here.
Was my sarcasm that far off the mark?

Not at all. I just used your post lol
It happened to many people in the 03/04 Cobra community. The most common cause of the black gunk on those cars, was E85 incompatible parts in the system.
OK. I'm bad a lot of things, sarcasm isn't one of them typically.
we will... Just not as fast as you guys will like. As I said a page or 2 back before it really took off on E85 topic(s) and discussion (which is GREAT!) the heads are being sent out and I will be flow testing the inj soon. Maybe I should before buying a whole new set. I am off for the next entire week with NO KIDS! NO WIFEY! so I may swing by the shop pick em up and run em to BOOSTLAB for testing.
Omg, this forum is filled with know it all that don't know shit. Not only this thread but all over the forum! Sometimes I wonder if it's libs seeing if I am retarded enough to argue with them.

Kirk at Boostlab is a good honest guy. He's been in the Supra game / Tampa community forever. Can't beat $20 inj flowed and cleaned local by someone with OCD.
