If you tune rich for e70 in the winter (like .4 richer than normal), it would be fine for e85. You just cant push it to the very edge like you can with race fuel. We only get about one or two months of true 85% up here, most of the time its 70 or 78. Flex fuel cars have trouble starting in the winter on e85, thats why they lower the amount of ethanol in the winter.

Here is the chart of what gets shipped when:

Good lord could they make that car any easier to work on?

**thedak** · 02-23-2015, 04:10 PM

Besides internal engine and tranny work the car is fantastic.

Those are a complete nightmare.

**RUTHLESS** · 02-23-2015, 04:21 PM

My background in AWD comes from the Dodge Stealth r/t TT and 3000GT vr4. Those things where a BIG pita to do any work on.

Thank goodness there are new cars like the GTR now.

That's what I was thinking. Ford needs to take notes on that fuel pump access panel.

S197 and s550 mustang are setup the same way. Right under the seat.

Must be nice. The Focus is under the seat but the tank has to be dropped or cut your own access panel.

Looks awesome matt. I got a feeling this thing is goin to be insane here pretty soon. I remember reading one of your first GTO threads when the car was just goin to get a cam and headers! And we all know how that car ended up! Lol
