an open loop calibration would be just fine.

I'll probably try some fresh cats (as I have them) to see how close I can come as you advised. but with the tough 48 HC standard, my bet is that it won't pass at idle.

this would be plan B. very interested in E85 though for a turbo ZR-1

yes, the entire fuel system would need to be upgraded, but the power possibilities are there. problem is the "hassle" associated with storing a car for any period with e85 it would have to be driven very frequently or drained when not in use.

thanks for any tips or advice

Even in O/L, wouldn't you need more than a couple of hours to get the tune right using a WB calibrated for E85?
