Default Flex Fuel Setup

I'm tuned on 91 octane and the car just works really well right now. However, I was just reading about the way the Elite series handles flex fuel, and it seems deceptively easy to get started. Add the sensor, enable some tables and go, assuming your base fuel table and AFR targets are good. I think I'm there...but wanted to see if anyone has advice on how to approach the correction maps. Obviously, I would be adding some timing and boost through the correction tables.

Any tips or things to watch out for?
Anyone have a strategy for how to approach the correction process?
How did you setup correction for cranking?

I just installed my flex fuel sensor and set it up in ECU. Filled few liters of E85. Currently showing 10% Ethanol, car seems to be running as it did before, hitting all the same lambda targets. I guess it is that easy?

As far as I know...Haltech claims the Elite will compensate. One thing I can't remember is whether the AFRs you see are adjusted for Ethanol or not. What wideband are you using?

Currently using AEM 30-0300 in lambda mode, that should be compatible? All fuels run stoich at Lambda 1.00

So the gauge reads in lambda - and you convert to AFR in the display?
