E85, Innovate LC1 Wideband, and AFR

[da28fan]

Hi there. Just installed an Innovate Motorsports LC1 Wideband into my 2003 Cobra (mods in signature). I've heard that the ratio should be lower on a car running E85 than regular fuel, possibly as low as 9.5. So a couple of questions.

First, will the Innovate LC1 wideband setup work properly on an E85 car?

If so, what is an ideal AFR for a Cobra on E85 at WOT?

If this gauge will NOT work properly, what would you recommend?

thank you!

Lambda is lambda. Read it just like if it were gas. A good afr would be 11.2 to 11.5 WOT

Here's the reply I received directly from Innovate, in case anyone is interested:

The LC-1 will work on E85 fuel.

The ideal number is going to be acquired by tuning and it will be different from application to application.

Leave it set on a gasoline scale and tune for 11.7 @ WOT.

Thanks dude. Funny you should say that. Dynoed a month or two ago and that's exactly what I'm finding. Didn't have the gauge on at the time, but now that it is there, it IS at 11.7 at WOT. Thanks for the confirmation!
