Flex fuel conversion, e85, labor, other stuff Im haveing done, a bit of this a bit of that, a dyno tune, and some doughnuts will be above 3k with labor. If you would like to get a copy of the bill or estimate I would be more than happy to get it for you. The injectors are gonna be expensive also.
I wasn't trying to start an argument here... just stating that the flex fuel sensor and lines can be purchased for about $150

Labor to at attach pins to the ecm...minimal 1hr

Dyno Tune- I get it can be pricey

Injectors sure- not cheap

Your post quoted $3500 for an e85 conversion.... this can be achieved for much cheaper...

But hey....spend your money anyway you choose

If you would have said ...$3500 for additional work then cool

Injectors 1k most
Tune $500
E85 Parts $150
Labor $150

$1800 was my thoughts on this

If I dont even gain .10 in the quarter mile, I am still happy with what I spent and how much I spent because in the long run it is just for fun. So thank you for the compliment and I hope you enjoy your day. I wil be spending another 3500 on an E85 set up and probably 1500 on a twin disc clutch. Hope that ain't to much for anyone else but fro me its ok.

Watch out for the road course, it's really addictive!

Only got two passes in. There was an event going on and it was about to rain. Best pass was a 10.875@ 129.23 The DA was high at 2200. But its all for fun.

Are you happy, that's all that counts
I see videos of guys cars at the track and there is about 100 people there, where are these places ???
The so west is barren when it comes to tracks imo, very few and far between plus they are crowded as hell because of that.
I have 2 choices, Vegas 2.5 hrs or Phoenix 3 hrs, just too far
Anyways, good job Ron

Super super happy with the car. Just wanted more runs. With the six speed the first run is just getting a feel for the track conditions. Second run I did better and wanted to pull a better time. But in the long run I did a 150 mile trip there and back. Love driving the car. A blown ls3 is awesome

Yep, I thought long and hard about it, went so far as to get a price from Andy (?) at A&A which wasn't too bad, but just the logistics of it didn't work cause I wanted him to do the install and that might as well be on the moon.

Glad you are having fun with YOUR car and driving it as it should, my GS only gets long stretches of highway, truly wish there was a track nearby.
