It does in some cases (other platforms I've done). However my original statement about it being more economical turned out to be false -- the eco calculation on the dash is junk, not accurate on E85, and sadly not even accurate on pump gas.

Im testing the dyno and tuner again real soon going back to 93 and going back to 2.5" CAI. Ill find my power loss if it kills me.
That's because UpRev is crap.

28* still makes more power with E85 over pump gas. I added zero extra ignition advance and still saw 5-6hp gained.
