As far as MPG goes, I used to be able to hit 320-330 before the light turned on, now I am hitting about 300-315, but I attribute that to me being harder on the pedal in second and third, cause damn that shit is too good haha.

I had the fuel gauge problem and disconnecting the battery for a few minutes reset it back to normal and it has been fine ever since.

Hows the no lift to shift working for you, have you tried it? How does it work exactly? Thanks

Not sure if the winter blend switchover play's a role in this but that's what came to mind when I saw your post.
Difficult to determine when that takes place exactly but fuel economy generally drops on the winter blend.

I've done the disconnect battery trick maybe 4-5 times? It will reset the gauge to the correct level, but it doesn't stay corrected. I could be wrong and impatient, but when you run e85, gas goes so quickly that I didn't want to risk breaking down on the road. I'll flash back to Stage 1 tonight and see if my gauge works.

I've tried it a few times and honestly it's pretty wicked. There's a youtube video by Visconti that demonstrates how it works. Basically floor it, shift when appropriate without lifting your foot.. I think it wreaks havoc on your clutch though..

Also true but this seems like a drastic change if you ask me. Unless I just happened to combine very uneconomical winter tires and winter/oxygenated fuel at the same time which doesn't seem terribly unlikely either.

This might be a stupid question but what size of winters did you put on? I'm guessing they aren't the same size so you're odometer is off and giving your weird gas mileage results.

I calculate my fuel economy the old fashioned way. Truth be told my car says 27.6 right now which is what I expect given the variables. Regardless, my tires are 205/55/16

Might be a funny question but how do we know these days when our cable has shipped?

jdzumwalt · 11-15-2012, 12:26 AM

e85 always starts like shit unless the air is over 60 degrees. This is my experience from my race car.

fenton · 11-15-2012, 10:05 AM

Looks like we lost the tutorial on how to flash? It used to be on the first page.... has it been moved somewhere else? I was going read that over while waiting for my cable/tune.

yomny · 11-15-2012, 10:08 AM

The tutorial is now in his ticket service page. So click on the "service ticket" link on Visconti's signature, create an account and its in the FAQ.

Got it thanks!

Now the wait for tune plus cable

Ah, figured I'd ask. If the tires are too large or small then it'd throw off the odometer and even calculating it based on how far you've gone would be off.

Anyways, and updated dynos? I'm curious to see how much of the torque dip is able to be tuned out.
