Do any of you use EFILive for tuning? I do and am curious if the current version has all of the necessary flex fuel tables available so that I can enable it when I buy my kit from DSteck. I am hoping not to have to buy HP Tuners.

Ship me the ECM out of your vehicle, and I will activate everything for you. All you'll have to do is download the tune out of the car once you reinstall and begin tuning.

Ok, here's my mods and where it netted out. This is showing 64% alcohol and the following mods. It is a base model 2014 M7 NPP exhaust.
D. Steck flex fuel kit
aFe CAI
Jeremy Formato ported intake manifold
TSP longtubes
VMAX CNC ported throttle body
Dynojet dyno 485.3/497.4
No opportunity to perform any 40-100 pulls yet but hopefully next weekend if the rain moves on.

Yes, your email did help. Mike looked at the information you provided and made some comparisons to what he already had dialed in. It was all the same except you had 1 degree more timing up top in a few areas. So basically the same and you were definitely right in our email exhange...she definitely pulls hard now!

Any idea on how much the alcohol percentage factors into hp gained? For instance is there a generic type of calculation that can be performed estimating at 50% I have this much, at 75% it jumps to this?
I've had so much fun researching the tuning aspects of all of this as I've made modifications I think it's inspired me to get HP tuners to do some data logging and fooling around on my own. I'd like to have insight into the alcohol readout and how things change based on the gas run and also be able to continue fine tuning as people continue learning more and more tuning on our cars.

Jesus, those numbers are much higher than I was expecting. I dyno this Thursday, was suppose to last Thursday but my guys dyno broke. New part is in and installed, so I should be good to go. I will be happy with 460whp, but we will just have to wait and see.
I think it's fair to say that 500whp is possible with bolt ons and E85
