Default E85 tune needed

Hey guys, I have a 2016 Z07 A8, with an AFE CAI, a CS catch can and an e85 system installed, but not tuned as yet. I did the e85 install myself, as I installed an Eforce SC on my C6 Z06 without any problems a few years ago. The two cars have about the same power, but the fit and finish on the C7 is much better inside.
Does any company sell an e85 tune, instead of having to find a reliable tuner? I have never used one hear in the Bay Area and have heard varying post about tuners close by me, so not sure what I should do. I have the HP Tuners VCM.
Thanks much

I am literally shooting from the hip on this one but have you tried contacting the guys at Vengeance Racing? I'm not even sure if they sell tunes or not but I know they do e85 conversions. It's worth a shot.

Talk to Jeremy Formato at forum vendor Fasterproms. They're in Tampa, FL but do tuning using HPTuners. You can see in the link below that they do "Custom Tuning via HPTuners (street and dyno)".

Whether they have any HPTuners canned tunes for E85, I dunno. But give them a call and see what might be available. They have an E85 kit and are very E85 knowledgeable.

I would call FFTEC in Hayward and see if they can help you out. The mostly do imports, but have tuned 911's and GTR's. Sean is a great guy and I would call him if I still lived in that area.
