This was even confirmed by COBB's engineer himself about the LPFP issue and ethanol. It is hit or miss. I never said anything else failed. Others have. I love E-85 mixes on our cars, but after my experience on my third LPFP now, I will stick to 93 oct. which hasnt given me any issues to date.

BTW, a LPFS = Low Pressure Fuel Sensor on the fuel rail right next to the HPFP.
That's fair...other manufactures that spec e85 for their vehicles, use a specific LPFP and you may be right. Sounds like you had bad luck with your LPFPs, were you running the stock ones? If there is a weak point that I would worry about the most...its the lpfp as we don't know the affects of e85 on it but an e85 spec'd LPFP requires modification of the LPFP bucket.

BTW...an LPFS may be a Low Pressure Fuel Sensor but what is an "LFPS"? and how the heck could e85 be blamed for that?
