Finally got around to testing an ethanol blend today with the new tune. Filled up a tank a week or so ago and gave the car some time to adapter. Had some open road on the way home from work today so I made a couple of dragy passes.

Hi All!
making this threat to see if anyone has a "flex fuel" like tune on their M177 (doesn't have to be a C63). what hardware are ya'll running and who is the tuner to make this work? I dont have a lot of pumps with E85 and dont want to flash the car after every fill up.
up. plz lmk
Correct - E85 is up to around 85% ethanol, although the ethanol content will actually vary fairly dramatically from pump to pump (can be as low as about 50%). It's available at select gas stations here in the states. Personally, I have to drive a good 25 miles to find the closest place that carries it. It runs like a high octane fuel, although it has lower energy density than gasoline. Typically you need to upgrade your fuel system (fuel pump and injectors) to be able to really capitalize on it, but if you can set up to run it, you can generate a lot more power.
