I have been tuned since the beginning...well over a year now.

I've sat there with them and asked them to try and find a difference between my ECU and one that hasn't been flashed. They can't. Plain and simple. Could they pull the software and do a comparison side by side, line by line of code, and see that it was flashed? Sure, no problem. Are they going to do that?? Unless your ECU holds the missing coordinates of the Malaysia air flight or something extremely valuable don't flatter yourself, no one cares about your ECU at the dealer.
Back on topic..great work! I would like to see this work duplicated on another 86 however. There are always engines that put down more power and less power off the line...I'm guessing you have one of the freakishly strong engines. When you pull another stock 86 and put down the same numbers I'll be a believer.

We have three cars driving around on the E85 tune so far and all with no problems and consistent from the logs I have seen. As for the 91 octane car over 200 whp, well it is just one so far but looking at getting another setup in to confirm, but I do not see a problem with making that power lever again with the same parts.
