Any e85?
What's the difference between e85 and 91 gas? Ever since I got my car I been using 91 which is recommended, but recently I been hearing to use e85 that it makes a difference in a good way compare to 91, if there's a difference can you guys help out find a gas station in the area of La Puente, West Covina, El Monte or Arcadia? Thanks for the help guys!

You need a tune to run e85. You can search up e85 stations through google close to where you live. http://www.ethanolretailer.com/flex-fuel-station-finder

Cheapest way to run e85 is with the Open Flash Tablet.

Much better to invest in an OFT tablet though. I bought one used and I still think it's the best purchase I made today. E85 + UEL header with no CEL is gonna be so much fun. And launch control is kinda cool too haha.

The best would be a proper FlexFuel setup with an ECUTek tune, so there's no map switching. Fill up and go. No worrying about running the tank to E as well.

yes, the best is ecutek with flex fuel...

I think before too long the open source world will catch up with ecutek with map switching and flex fuel. Being an IT Director that runs a Linux based network you can know that I am all about open source. For now in order of cheapest to best, it's tactrix, OFT, Ecutek. Jaden |

Do we have to get the launch control from the laptop or is it already there in the tablet itself?

ECUTek is worth every penny. Let's be realistic here, you shouldn't be going cheap when it comes to something as important as tuning your car's ECU. That's like running RAID0 on a production MySQL server.

not exactly...

Jaden ECUTek may very well be worth the money, but I don't like the idea of being locked out of anything I work on. Nor of paying for something I can't resell if I so choose. |
