Message	I see you don’t have a stand-alone in your profile. If that is true and you are using oem ecu, you will need a map switcher (SZ) to change tunes between different E contents(%). If you plan on getting a stand-alone, it’ll be able to do that for you on the fly once if gets the ethanol input wired to it. Also, get a walbro pump. The oem one will be close to maxed on e85
