You can read e85 plugs, just have to know what you're looking for....as stated be careful on what you read as many ppl don't have actual experience in things then speak up on them

I've ran e85 iny truck Yrs ago, ran it on our mustang all season and this Year will be tuning a turbo lightning that's on e85


When topic as tune as you would gas. LamBa is lamba and that gauge will do just fine displaying in gas when running e85
Widebands are meant to read lamba, so when you target the desired number in lamba then the AFR will be what theath comes out to be...in this case 11.4 or .78 is your target

This gave a clean reading on the plugs with good color over all.

After all these, I will be more safer on e85 on my turbo truck? Don't matter if I just stay on low timing. What I'm going to do its turn it on e85 and do some test on timing, I don't want just to run more timing I just want my motor to run more safer and cooler.

As for timing that all depends on setup, best thing is start low and creep up

Watch mph if at the track
If on street just be smart about it
