Just curious, is John only sending out tunes to those testing for E85/Canada testers at this point? Or is he also sending tunes out to his other customers as well? The reason I ask is that I've filled out the program form on an email I received from him when I first purchased, and also the tune form earlier this week. I've received my cable last week...but haven't received a tune yet. I know he's a busy guy, so I just don't want to bombard him with emails....

Probably not the off the shelf e85 tune, but i don't see why John couldn't make a custom tune for you to run E85 with that supercharger.

This will take 1 second

And in the programming took it says restarting ECU. How long does it normally take till you need to turn car on to idle?
3-4 seconds for me.

You would need a forced induction tune and upgraded injectors

So I brought my macbook to work with me and had John/Ecutek fix my license=0 issue.

Got home, tuned my car and eventually went out for a drive where I put on about 30 miles. Towards the end I felt like the car was almost done adjusting to the tune (based on my ability to get going from a stop compared to pre-tune, I almost stalled the first time I got going post-tune due to throttle response).

The engine feels infinitely smoother and makes a very new and very sexy new noise. Third gear pulls are very surprising now and I think will be even more surprising after I do some more driving.

As a vendor; John's the man. Yes, at times his attitude may seem unorthodox as a vendor because he's a one man team dealing with LOTS of clients (think of Juke, GTR, BMW owners). The thing is though, when you have an issue, even a simple one like I did, he'll make you feel like you're his only customer. Your issue will get the attention it deserves and you will be happy in the end. This seems pretty consistent with most peoples opinions of John here. As everyone says, if you're on the fence, get off and buy the tune.

For those running rr with e85 as the second map do you still have fuel remaining % on any of the maps. Just got my tune but I want to make sure I am as low as possible on pump before filling up e85.

Yes, both map 1 and 2 show fuel level on the pump/e85 combo rom.
