Cobb stage 1 aggressive e85 mix

We only have 91 in CA so I was thinking of mixing e85 with 91 in order to boost the octane level to where I would be able to run the aggressive map. Is it safe on an otherwise stock car to run about 30% ethanol?

Don't bother. Cobb offers an e30 tune that will be just fine. Its pretty aggressive and enough to put you in your seat. Targets 18 psi.

Yea, I think I'm gonna go ahead and try it today. I'm gonna mix about 4 gallons in my tank and then switch to the aggressive map and see how it goes.
