Default Flex fuel install & my results running e85

Hello everyone!
Just installed my flex fuel sensor last week on my C7 Z51 (A8). Install wasn't bad, about a good 2 hours of work. Only tough part was grabbing the ECU from front fender. Attached will be my baseline numbers. Those numbers included LT headers, corsa x-pipe, intake, and tune. Made 474.5 to the wheels. After, about 1/2 tank of E85 dumped in and final tunning... The car made 505.7 to the wheels! About 30rwhp gain on e85. Love this stuff! Stage 3 cam next! Also, below is a photo of the installed ACS stage 3 front splitter with winglets for BASE C7. Look nice
Cheers!
