So are you saying that if I run 100% E85, I would have to get detuned for the DME to demand less in order help the LPFP keep up with the HPFP?

This is similar to the question above. By not touching the tune and adding more E85, how would the DME know to demand more fuel? Would it be the extra power I would be making just by simply adding more ethanol? I've never understood how this threshold is established.

As I understood it, the only reason why I got the stage 1 lpfp was because the tune would be demanding more fuel and therefore a secondary pump was needed to supplement the supply of fuel. God I'm such a noob.

I don't recall if this is one of my "best" logs but it's one of the latest ones. By best I mean I don't know if the road had an incline or not. It may have. Either way, let me know how it looks please.

I would worry about the timing corrections more than E85 in this case...
