Has anyone used (or even heard of) the ProFlex Commander from Advanced Fuel Dynamics? I saw an article on Grassroots and contacted them. Their kit mounts a FlexFuel sensor before the fuel rails to determine the ethanol content of the fuel in real time. It calculates the fuel octane at the sensor to modify the fuel delivery requirements of any tune. It works by modifying the injector pulse width in a stock or aftermarket tune. A rep at AFD tells me the system does not change timing, but it "creates a condition where your knock sensing system will advance timing on its own." I could run E90, E50, or 93 octane without a tune change, and apparently the kit will make the most of whatever octane is available.

My point is, I've always thought the FlexFuel systems were the way to go with a street / track car. This possibility is the reason I ordered my new pistons at 9.5:1 instead of staying at 11:1 with boost. I can run 93 octane, but I don't want to, but I could in a pinch. Now I'm feeling like there could be some modern fuel convenience for my 3V. It would be nice not to have to test the E85 ethanol content every time I pull up to a pump. Not to mention, if I'm low on fuel, and the E85 at the pump samples at E50, I don't want to start walking 10 miles to the next E85 station.
Does this add too much complexity to the system? Is it just another thing to break? Flex fuel tech is available for almost any newer vehicle. Why not a 3V?
