I did relocate the harness. I've gone through that set of ET Streets and a subsequent set of same size M&H drag radials - no rubbing at all on either. For the record, the ET Streets were the best at 0-60 consistency.

My car is in now getting Kooks and e85 tune. Here’s what I think I know about e85 that might be helpful to people whose tuners are arguing against e85...
  • E85 (ethanol in general) can be corrosive to valve stems and valve seats if the valve stems and seats are not specifically hardened to deal with the corrosion and pitting
  • LS and LT engines leave the engine plant hardened for E85 capability so it is not an issue for LS and LT engines. All they need is the flex fuel sensor and a tune

Because GM offered E85 capability on a lot of their V6 and V8 engines, it made sense to ship all engines from the engine plant hardened and ready for E85 usage. Which vehicles actually were E85 capable was managed at the vehicle assembly plant where the fuel lines and flex fuel sensors are assembled onto the car. This may not be true for other OEMs (Ford, Dodge). Ford is very likely to already be hardened because Ford also produced a lot of cars with E85 capability. I just don’t know for sure if Coyote equipped F150 was ever E85 capable.

E85 is by far, the best bang for your buck bolt on modification.

Unless there is something weird in the e85 in your neighborhood, I would take that as a sign to look at other tuners or maybe a remote tuner from here.
Can you tell me if I install my E85 sensor kit, will I get a CEL before I tune for E85? I will never actually run E85 until its going to be used the day of my tune. I am trying to get my self ready with a few thing before my tune in March. I also under stand if I do something wrong installing the E85 sensor kit I should or may get a CEL, but if my install is correct I hope it will be a no issue with any CEL . Thanks in advance
