Default 2015 Z06 A8 gains 83rwhp with AFE and flex fuel

Just wanted to share results on this 15 Z06 A8 we installed an AFE intake on and converted to flex fuel with a DSX sensor.

Only 2 changes are the intake and flex fuel conversion. The baseline was a cooler pull and the mod numbers were during tuning with only a few minutes between pulls. Gains would be even higher if we let cool for 20 minutes but we did not have time and we had another car that needed to get on the dyno.

Gains are everywhere in the curve.

Baseline- 555rwhp 600rwtq on 93 octane
Mods- 638rwhp 655rwtq mixed at e65

Gains- 83rwhp and 55rwtq.

Give us a call to setup the correct combination for your goals.

Bad ***....! I want the flex fuel conversion bad...just to have the option. I just don't have the fuel capacity I don't think.

Great work guys!

Was never a fan of E85 til now------I did the E85 conversion on my base model 14---
No dyno's where I live but using my data logger I was amazed by the data !!!
Base timing at WOT went from 24* to a whopping 30* !!!
Airflow increase at WOT went from a .88 grams per cylinder to a larger 1.04-
So bottom line --more timing and more airflow ( AFR's were corrected using a wideband)
equals more HP and TQ !!!!!!!!!!
I am now an Ethanol convert for life---amazing results--

I wouldn't run 30 degrees, that's past MBT on what I presume is a bolt on setup??

What's your mods, moving 1.04 grams in a bolt on car your most likely rich
