I felt something similar driving back from the e85 station and feeling the power difference as the JB4 adapted...pull one....pull two then once it adapted pull three, holy shit it was FUN. Effortless acceleration...and I only have JB4 & DCI!!!
What kind if E85 mix do you do? I am going to go back and add more E85 in the mix this time. I think maybe the last time, I only put like 3 or 4 gallons. Next time I will put more and will see how it is. Also I will let it adapt and see how it goes..
