Can i run on E85 with the performance tune or do i have to go back to stock settings

If the performance tune requires premium fuel I would say yes. Premium fuel in my area is 93 octane. E85 (depending on the blend - 70-85% ethanol) is closer to 105-107 octane. You'll probably notice it runs a few degrees cooler and has a better throttle response. If your programmer advances the timing a good bit you may also notice it takes longer to crank the engine on that high octane fuel.

When in doubt, call the manufacturer customer service before leaping.

The Diablosport forum says YES, No problem ... I'm on the fence about ordering one cuz my right foot is not allowed to press the pedal to the floor at $3.00 a gallon ... E85 @ $2.45

E85 here is +/- $1.80.
