I ordered this gasket from NAPA, because from the picture I thought it was made from rubber, like the inner two round gaskets. The material is actually some sort of fiber, and I decided to go with...

Flood mode active without stock tune

Can anyone confirm that this mode is still active with OFT or WayneRom tunes? I don't see why not but I need extra peace of mind before doing this procedure after an oil pan replacement.

In the final tune I settled on, which is based on the Wayne roms, I actually tuned out the torque bump I was getting at 4600 rpm to make it more constant across the rpm range. Some people may find...

J95, I would suggest spending the 60$ for the Wayne tune and perhaps follow his procedure for adjusting the MAF scaling. Then you could log engine knock and reduce ignition timing if necessary....

One last question: to make a B01C rom appear as a F00C rom, can I just modify the bits corresponding to the ASCII representation of ZA1JB01C? Or is there more to be modified?
