Well it was innovative if your leaving your beast outside and don’t want it took . The wheel completely locks up


I don’t race or drift just putt around every so often ! I just want my car to be reliable enough to go somewhere far if I need it to .

Today the engine becomes even quieter but with more noticeable power @ 70% ! Also the intake,tb & air plenum have cooled down significantly! I haven’t done a heat temp check but I know before you would burn your hand if you placed it in the intake manifold now you could keep your beer cold after a spirited drive ! E85 was a good choice! Forgot to add that to tink,tink,tink from the motor cooling is gone completely!

Filled up @ 80 % now oh man it uses the fuel like it’s going out of style! I’ll be switching back to the 40-50% blend after just a little putt around I’ve used a quarter tank but the power the power let me tell Ya !

Looking for solution..can I simply swap a pcm out of say a suburban or other flex fuel pcm at the time to recognize and receive correct internal adjustments on its own !

I switched from E10 to E33 last summer. Helped a LOT with limiting knock and allowed me to add a few degrees of timing. My setup was knock limited prior to MBT with E10, V3Si and 3.6" pulley. Yours may need more ethanol but it may be quite a bit under E80 which would add to the miles per tank.

Different pcm and proflex’s higher bar fueling should resolve the car’s ability to use both devices as it should. I intend just to reflash my current tune into the unit and let my tuner guy hype things up on the flex fuel cell area ! Then maybe the car is tuned and ready to run a 110-115 octane ! If need to be !

With a p59 u still need access to 4 bar and so on fueling. From what I read 3 bar is max on the p59 so pro flex pro is still in favor of making correct fueling rates the pcm will still adjust. This for me is a must swap I wish I had came across before long time back !

So after some research the p59 swap I won’t need. The 2000 pcm is equivalent of the 411. I maybe have already flashed it long ago when I switched the map to a 2 bar and I just need to check out the fuel tables and copy ethanol tables from the Tahoe or whatever file compare and 0 out edit changes left unchanged

I almost ordered a ls3 12.5 to 1 but then after some research the car already makes equal power and I can further enhance it by simple a pulley and whenever I get off my lazy and swap in my cam shaft. Port and dual spring the heads while there off. I read a guy had some flowing 400cfm . I figured save the 4300 and make more power with the parts I have. It’s almost done except for some de greasing on the differential from a previous owner leak and oil pan where the rear main had leaked over time .

You dont have to pull the heads to swap cam. Just go do it. Few things in life sweeter than chopping the streets in a new cam.

I’ll contemplate a while on tearing it down again . I would like to grab a few more things to do 1st. Like the e brake shoes and a throttle body spacer with nitrous outlet. I was think of tapping into the gas tank with my 100psi snow performance pump and blowing e85 into the air charge pipe just to add the wtf factor !

Why does SD pull 172 & 175 rich 1&2 . Just a question As pcm isn’t capable of making adjustments needed to lean it not within its stock parameters! How to say it’s ok ? It’s fine ?

it need be rich not leaner then a pork chop.
