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

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.

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.
