So, I assume I have to be FBO before I can run the E85? Also, how much do you guys put in, like 1/3 a tank?

e30 means 30% total ethanol content.
The OTS e30 maps are designed for a FBO car. To get the required ethanol content mix in 5 gallons of e85 and then fill the tank with 93. You will be over the required e30 mix but it's MUCH better to have more ethanol than not enough.

In fact, when running e40 you can run a significantly "hotter" map than what's available in any of the OTS maps.
