I’m not a tuner…but my tuner told me to not go over E50 because there’s no gain or benefit🤔. So you’re saying I’m gonna get more Performance if I go to a different gas station and get a higher content of E???
Depending on your combo and HP level, running above E50 can be a huge strain on the fuel system. E50 gets you the majority of the flex fuel timing advance with less fuel system load. Sure full E85 can get you another degree or two of timing but maybe not worth it if your fuel system cannot keep up on full E.
Why most tuners say it's not worth going over 50% is because most customers are not willing to spend 10k on fuel system only to run anything higher. But the gains are there if you have the money
Silly question. I am doing a max effort NA. I have the DSX low side and LT4 HPFP, injectors. Compression means only E85 for me. I dont know if i have enough fueling but how big of a gap in power/torque is there between E85 and straight Methanol?
If you ever get the chance to look at hptuners and how the tables are setup you will have a better understanding. The tune should adjust for any percentage of E, whether that be advancing or retarding timing.
I am assuming that with the 2.77 gearing you'd have to go well over 160mph to redline it in 7th gear l believe 6th gear would be very similar to a 1 to 1 ratio with a 3.42-3.55 gearing and even in 6th gear you'd would be well over 140mph at redline you will never use 7th gear in the eighth or quarter mile my modified 5th gen Camaro has a 6L80e 6 speed automatic with a 4200rpm stall converter with 3.27 gears and it goes 123mph in 3rd gear at 6600rpm redline and 3rd gear transmission ratio is 1.5 so I'm thinking in 3rd gear it's similar to a 4.10 gear with a 1.1 transmission ratio 5th gear in the new 10 speed automatic should do well over 130mph at redline with 2.77 gearing means you'll never use 6th or 7th gear in a quarter mile run and l think a 10 speed automatic in 5th gear with a 1.5 transmission gear ratio would very similar to a 3.73 gear with a 1 to 1 ratio transmission gear
Quick, concise, and to the point.
How bout dem zl1’s and E? Mines bone stock for now been following you for years. Gotta zl1 few months ago. Just a matter of time, sooner or later🏎️💨
Boosted cars love E also
What hood is that?

I would find a new tuner.
If your tuner tuned your flex fuel correctly then yes you will make more power with higher E content.

@@joshuacayea7810 I appreciate this explanation

Why do long tubes no cats sound so raspy on the lt’s?
Really depends on the brand and what mufflers, ect.

Methanol will make much more power but has a much higher fueling demand
If the difference is say 72 vs 75% does that make a difference? Obviously 58 to 72 does.
The more E the better
If the car is tune with 75%E will the car gain more hp when 85%E is add automatically or is a retune required?
You took my question I REALLY wanna know this to!!! Will the sensor adjust and make more power?!?!
You should have a FF sensor on the car. The tune will adjust accordingly if tuned properly.
If you ever get the chance to look at hptuners and how the tables are setup you will have a better understanding. The tune should adjust for any percentage of E, whether that be advancing or retarding timing.
how come for 10speeds you tune in 6th and not 7th 1 to 1 , just curious

It is a very long pull for basically a higher number. There is no tuning gain with it. And it can over run the dyno on cammed cars.
what do you think about tuners tuning 6th gen 10speeds in 4th gear, is there a downside to it or relatively the same as tuning in 6th
