To all my Canadian brothers, I am seriously sorry about the fuel situation in your country. Dont you guys have tons of oil toward the arctic circle?

It was a very good tune in the end.

How long did the whole process take? Did he get back to you quickly with new tunes?

The majority of your imported oil comes from Canada.

We don't need the oil in the Arctic yet. We have the tar sands in AB.

We don't subsidize Ethanol fuels.

Considering forced induction ?, I recommend trying header/tune/E85(optional) first.

The power increase is way more significant than you can possibly appreciate from looking at a dyno graph and it is apparent at any rpm. I gained over 10 mph on the main straight at a 2 mile track.

Why don't you have 93 octane?

This is GREAT news. I used the Marathon Station locator to find the station on Eau Gallie. The location they show is sooo far off it's amazing. I couldn't find it and was ready to give up and go home. On my way back I noticed that some old gas station I pass everyday was now a new Marathon. AND THEY HAVE E85!!! For about two bucks a gallon!!!
Gotta burn up my current tank of 93 and I'll be back on the booze again. Maybe for good.

Probably just don't have any refinery that does it and sees it as worthwhile to. It's the same issue in Alaska. Our premium is 90 octane and no ethanol at all.

about 3 weeks or so. I think it was 24 times we went back and fourth. 23rd tune was the charm. I think once or twice we went a day or so, but for the most part he was responsive and answered my questions. A couple times it was raining so bad I couldn't do the pull for a day or two. Overall it was a good experience.

We do in some parts. 94 is available in a lot of areas too.

But, most cars don't require more than 87.

UEL header + E85 + tune = feels more like a small V6 as opposed to an anaemic four banger.

I have been looking for someone who has done a remote tune with him. Happy to hear it went well. I am gonna do it from your review of him. Thanks bro

There is also a new Marathon on Palm Bay Road (right next to Dunkin Doughnuts and Golden Corral) that has E85 as well. If they keep building these around me I may have to tune for E85 as well
