As far as the jb+ and e85 goes, you won't see any increase in power unless you're having serious timing corrections. But there's no real way to log the jb+ so you don't know if you have any timing corrections to correct.

You need to apply timing when using E85, which the JB+ doesn't do.

You can run it but you won't see any gains.

i think he will still see gains, e85 would act like octane booster, youll feel the difference. it may not be comparable to jb4 map 5 auto-tune but your car should feel peppier.

If you run the JB at 100% with E85 it should run pretty good.

Not sure where you're going with that, comparing a "piggyback" with a glorified resistor in a box.

That's pretty much what a piggyback is. With the addition of rheostats and transistors. Signal modifiers are not tunes, they fool the dme into doing what is desired by the user/tuner.

You are arguing the most pointless thing ever, who cares? They both achieve the exact same thing, just go about it a different way.
