My full E car is getting about 9 when Im out beating on it. I will run through an entire tank of e85 when Im out datalogging, making pulls and 60-130 rips for two hours. But let me tell you, the car is an absolute animal now. Pulling like a freight train to 8000rpm is bananas. Wait until it...
I dont think so Tim.
My car made 455/405 E85 tune only in 101f heat and 3000da. That was my initial tunes back when we just got access. Also not in the 1:1 gear. It would have made more. Plus now I have made monumental strides in my e85 tunes and I can run 60-130 just in the 9s now in the...
Just sucks with weather around here in FL at the moment. Its going to stay hot for at least 2 more months. Around december we finally get those low DA days and thats when we get to the track. Then of course they close for the last half of december and first half of January for the holidays...
Not really yet. Haven’t heard of anyone going to the track yet. It’s too hot most of the country to run any PBs. God forbid I go and run s550 times in 100f and 3500 da and then my tunes are turds. I’m going soon but for more trans data and then in December I’ll run for a PB here in FL. But...
The E85 tunes are awesome. My car loves right at 33* of timing. Makes tons of airflow all the way to 7850 now, and I shift it at 8000 to drop back into peak tq. The 93 tunes are about 28* total advance in comparison and even in those situations, I'd always say you should blend to e20 at least...
It’s been figured out since 2018 smart guy. We just choose not to do them because the majority of users out there struggle with understanding how to handle a flex setup with a defined learn trigger and a finite learning window. That’s also exacerbated by DFCO skewing learning in the lean...
I considered doing like a 13.00 afr tune and trying both 93 and E85 on it. Again it wont be full spark, but the stoich is close enough to the median that the fuel trims will compensate in either direction easily and you'd never know the difference. But I dont like the idea of a car adding fuel...
Robert Papini. Hes the tuner. Jon is great too with flex. Personally inferred flex has always been more of convenience and not performance. Since you are blending in most cases, you are not getting to full E levels and the car is never giving you full spark/power if set up correctly. If you...
I really dont get your hardon over the flex tune. But if you REALLY must have one, this person is the best at them. The best tuners are the ones you've never heard of, and Robert is one of those. Or Jon at Juggernaut. Both have flex tunes that are as good if not better than any straight E85...
If you stay stock mechanically, then no issue at all swapping back to the stock tune. And most of your knock protection is from e70+ anyway. So you would be safe there. I could do a closer to e70 stoich tune to get your fuel trims closer to zero if you know your local station is like e70. I...
It does happen, but I try to be as responsive as I can be. Im on a device or computer basically every waking hour, so its virtually impossible for me to miss a notification - sad I know. My kids are mostly grown and the wife is very happy with the life I provide, so they are all very...
No we arent doing flex tunes. Im with P1. Flex tunes are very inconsistent and not user friendly. If you think it safe to run one, thats fine I know you have a hardon for them since you ran one on your last car and it was perfect. In reality they have been very problematic and 9/10 tuners...
Being a tuner and having my own car turned up to 11 on E85 for the last several weeks, I decided to flash back to the stock tune but keep the stoich set to 9.80 for e85 so I could still run E, but the car's calibration was otherwise completely stock engine and trans.
WOW was that eye opening...
