I think this would be a must for anyone not staying with the supplied “canned tune”, modifying the motor or driving in an area that requires you to use an ethanol blended fuel. To avoid the BIG

Seems a bit strange to me since those injectors are used on a ZR1 which is in the 550 RWHP range. I'm using them and have 525 rwhp on my LS2 (custom ECS tune) with a 3.875 pulley. Trying to figure out why the duty cycle would be that high based on the numbers you turned... Must be something else going on imo.... and perhaps it's that "summer blend". That would sure be something for folks to keep and eye on when running boost...
