sounds like one hell of a time with this one. lol It sounds to me like water as well. Because when you're adding fuel its getting leaner. Gas stations are supposed to have(at least to my knowledge anyways) a water monitoring system for their tanks, especially these days with ethanol-enriched fuels. So maybe that system went bad and they didnt notice or something and got water in the tank.

Whatever is ailing you snake, let it pass quickly and quietly.

It's been a pain in the ass for the past 4 months. But its getting close to being finished. Looks like I gotta think about this all weekend as my tuner took her car to Mich. To race and wont be back til sunday.

Very nice, got a lady tuner on our hands! Thats awesome! Best of luck! Try throwing some water remover into the tank and see if that helps out at all?

tuner has done other E85 cobras?

the switch from gas to e85 is pretty simple in the tune. I would test the gas (you should always anyways) and try it again.

Just got a call from tuner and he said car made crazy power with the 93 in it. So must have been same bad e85. Now I need to get a test kit and find some good fuel so we can go after that e85 power
