Mods in profile. I just recently switch to e85 and was wondering if it would be good to drive it. I've change some setting on ecmlink on the base idle tune and was wondering if Ill be able to drive it or do I need a full tune on it?

So far, got my airflowperrev to .25-.27. Global is -35 and dead time is 350ish, combinefueltrim at 0-2% idling. Air fuel is at 14.8-15 while idling. Tps is at .45. Timing sits at 10-12 degree. I don't get any knock or anything at idle or even while driving normally without boosting. This is all base on idling only.

Idles great and drives great.

Is there anything else I need to change to be able to drive it?

Thanks.
 
I run e85 an while I can't tell you if everything you stated is correct, I had my car tuned by Devon at boostin performance
an my air/fuel hovers at 14.7 to 15.0 at idle. Its where he set it up. So I can say at least that part looks good. Hope this helps some.

Concept is the same as on pump pretty much. Seems like you have things dialed in. Tuning WOT is a bit different. E85 will really allow the car to open up, turning it into a whole new beast. :)
 
Obviously posting a log is more insight to what's going on with the tune than you just spouting a few things off the top of your head but the only thing that you mentioned that isn't right is your TPSVoltage at 0.45v, it should be 0.63v with the throttle plate closed (0% throttle).

Please post a log and next time post in the appropriate forum, the Newbie section is for members with 30> posts and you're in the 450+ territory. I'm moving this to the log file advice forum, please post a log if you want opinions about tuning.
