Is anyone running e85 and nitrous? The price of nitrous makes it far more affordable than a supercharger. What mods are needed for this? I have the overkill e85 tune and kit. Will I need a different tune for nitrous? Also, will the stock fuel system support nitrous and e85. I know e85 is less dense, so it taxes the fuel pump and injectors more.

Why not ask Will? Certainly he could help.

I have. The products he sells are great, however, from what I've seen, he doesn't respond to emails very quick. It took me a month to get my kit and then a week after to get the tunes. I sent him my data logs 18 days ago. Five days ago he said he'd look at the logs on Monday. It's now Thursday and I still haven't heard back. I sent him an email on Monday asking about the e85 and nitrous. I still haven't heard back.

I know he is only one person doing this in his spare time. The tune he initially sent and the e85 kit are amazing. I'm seeing great performance and only dropped 0.2 mpg on e85. However, it would be nice if he at least responded to emails to let me know what's going on.

I've heard that it takes awhile, but most say its worth the wait since he really knows what he is doing.

I would suggest starting with a lower HP nitrous with the e85. Get that dialed in first and after several good runs up the HP and tune again. Timing and AFR will be very important.

Few months back I was testing nitrous with e85 on mine and with a 125 shot i wound up melting 3 plugs and losing a rod bearing. Prior to that bad pass, i had some luck, but the 125 shot or larger with e85 is more critical to have tuned right. On 93 octane i had no issue running 125 shot.
