Re: E85: E70, E74, E80...changing pump mixture a problem for tuning?

It may not be as perfect as being on a dyno, and being able to actually read the gains on the meter, but I don't see why using a wideband setup and a good functioning knock sensor, one couldn't just tune it decently on the street. I don't feel like paying hundreds of dollars, multiple times throughout the year, to perfect a tune on a dyno. that is going to be changing quite a bit I will go to the dyno to get good tunes once or twice throughout the summer, but in between I will be adjusting it myself when I notice changes.

Also, do you have any links to the way you know to test it?
