Update: we've got a 2012 running full E85 and the fuel pressure is rock solid. Ill see if he'll post about it once we get it fully dialed in. He just sent us another data log today and we sent him an even hotter tune. Hopefully we can get him on a dyno sometime soon, but until then I can at least give you ECM calculated numbers. Trifecta tuned on 93 it was pushing 320HP and 350TQ on our hottest 93 tune. Once he sends me this next log ill be able to tell you where it's at now. I'm hoping to push it to close to 350HP and 400TQ

That's great news. Glad to hear it. Are you able to advance timing over the 93 octane tune, or are they pretty similar? 320hp is pretty much where I thought the 93 octane tune stood, but maybe the ECM calculation isn't all that accurate (although I've heard it's almost right on).

Are you able to remote tune, or do I have to physically bring the car somewhere?

We're able to run literally double the timing we run on our 93 tune. I hope to have some dyno sheets for you guys soon showing stock, tuned 87 with octane adaptation, tuned 93, and tuned e85.

Not yet, the customer hasn't gone on the dyno yet.

You're making me want to try the 93 octane tune on my 2012 GS.

How much is the tune and the device to swap back and forth?
