Lol both the gtr and BMW tune make 100ft/lb of torque more though not 10:p

Just poking fun back because you poked first! We are all aware this is the first tune for this car and has lots of benefits. I'm sold at 750 bucks just have to get my finances in order first.

Oh my, I take it people have already checked the whole fuel system for ethanol compatibility?

You running E15 or is it E85? What will we need to purchase to go this route?

Guessing you need a FlexFuel sensor similar to this?

Color me intrigued!

John, thanks for your continued development of this tuning platform. I'm in on the group buy.

E85 will be sweet, but here's my question for you: are you able to do canned tunes for high-octane race gas like 96 octane unleaded? Looking forward to seeing what else you have in store.

New cars have fuel lines and tanks that are compatible with E85. They have been since the late '80s and early 90's.

Ethanol isn't corrosive, but can deteriorate older rubber seals. But I've used E85 in early '90s cars without any issues over long-term.

I wouldn't use the GM sensor anyways too expensive.

I've had a number of different requests for higher octane tunes.

Right now I'm working on e85, will do 100 octane shortly.

On your site it says "Load Limiters removed." Can you tell me exactly what that is? This will be my everyday driver and a car I have for a long time. Need to be sure the engine and drive-train are properly protected is all...

Whoa really? Didn't realize that was the case.

Could you elaborate what you mean by "used E85 in early '90s cars... long-term"?

Ecu has a bunch or load limits, they're removed. This won't cause any long term problems or damage.

I do this on all my flashes on other subarus
