e85 lsj falling on its face

Picked up an 06 lsj today, has 80s and e85, 16 psi pulley, stage 1 colder plugs or so I've been told. Anyway, I went to take off in first, got into boost and it fell on its face like I had let off. Second will do it if it's under 3k or so. Any help?

not much info for us to go off of. could be a tuning issue, could be bad fuel pump, could be spark blowout. do you have any gauges in it? a wideband perhaps?

Could be a tuning issue, but really not enough info here. I know you are trying hard to describe the issue.

I know that ZZP E85 tunes have boost reduction in 1st gear. They also typically have an enrichment delay of around 2,500 rpms to counteract low rpm bogging. Your car might be tuned differently and causing it to just dump stupid amounts of fuel and bog? Taking a guess there.

Are you able to log the car and post up the scanner logs? Do you have HPTuners software?

Figured it out, car is tuned for summer blend e85, and here in Terre Haute we're still on the winter blend. PO said it could be the MAF and threw a P0101 code for the e85? Cleared it and it seems to be doing fine. Car also has the RPT tune. Has two Aeroforce gauges as well.
