The sensor will adjust itself where e85 only will yield the most performance?

Correct, you can use 91 octane all the way to straight e85 with any mix in between e10-e85 and the kit will adjust. No tuning needed! |
Thanks a bunch .. might give it a shot this season..
I'm still quite confused about this ethanol matter.
normally I use the highest octane possible for our engine. (Shell 91 or Chevron 94 with 0% ethanol)
but with this kit, running straight ethanol yields better performance? care to elaborate?
much thanks, |
Ethanol (e85) is rated at 105 octane. Since it has alcohol inside it which provides additional cooling benefits it almost has the octane rating of 130+ octane. You can see that a bone stock car gained nearly 33whp.
