For what it's worth, I had an e85 tune specifically for my car from the dyno day.

I don't have any stiff 1/4" tubing around that I can squeeze past the siphon block. If I have time this week I'll try to siphon it dry and fill it up from bone dry.

Dumb question: In people's opinions who've been flashed, is it worth getting bolt ons along with getting this tune?

It's looking like the tune alone makes the most gains and it'd sure be easier than having to have Visconti retune to account for mods.

Or am I on crack?

One thing i'm sure most of you know but i will post anyways is that running your fuel tank almost dry is bad for the pump itself so i wouldn't be running well past E on a regular basis.

I would like to know this as well. Ink be getting my exhaust and drop in filter (both Perrin) so I can try it out as well, but it'll be more in "feel" than dyno results (which would be nice).

Tap'd from my G-Nex

there is gains to be had from a proper, not to radical exhuast upgrade(IMHO 3" on a stock car seems biggish) but there is even more to be had with a tune plus tubing

What gmookher said. Plus you get your own unique look, sound and feel when you put on your own parts. I enjoyed installing my intake and pulley last week. I look forward to installing my exhaust next week and flashing my car (hopefully this week? )

I dynoed at 174 with JUST an SRT exhaust. I never dynoed completely stock, but I doubt it made close to that. Even 165 as stock seems high for these cars.

Not trying to bug you, but is there any chance that means I should be looking for my E85 map tonight? If not, no worries. I'm just trying to make plans for tonight.

Same here. Although I wouldn't say a ton, I'm stuck right here..



The dongle is being recognized, but the pictures make it seem like the usb is also a removable storage. I can't get it to read the device and allow me to update my liscense if that is the case.

i also thought it was being shipped with the flashes on a usb drive, so yeah, just a bit confused i guess.

Everything else is fine.
