Default HorsePowerAddicts full bolt on C7Z 717rwhp

Just wanted to share a combination we just installed on a C7Z M7 with under 2K miles on the clock.

The owner brought in the car with the Haltech intake,Katech ported throttle body, and Corsa x pipe installed. We baselined the car right when it was dropped of which resulted in 577/585 on our dynojet.

Then we installed a IW 18% lower, Kooks 2" longtubes with catted x pipe, thermostat, flex fuel sensor, and HPA tuning. Car now made 669/647 on 93 octane.

We then mixed in some e85 to a 29-30% blend and ended up with 717/671.

Good for you...I would have been concerned with Halltech, Katech & Corsa @ only 577...Great end result though.

Yeah the baseline #'s were definitely a little lower then I expected, but it was right after I got off the highway for an hour...If it was allowed to cool, I think it would have been atleast 600rwhp baseline

Nice!!!


I am wondering if I can do a flex fuel setup and run e85 all the time if I kept it with only a Halltech on mine.

Cool!

How hard is it for a customer to read the flexfuel sensor? I'm guessing one would need a copy of HP or EFI tuners?

DSX Tuning makes a E85 Conversion and also a 1" square monitor for ethanol content and fuel temp. It is sold through Dedicated Motorsports

I had no idea it had gone this far. All the Bozo's that sat on here and argued the merits of e85 a couple of years ago, sit on your thumbs!

how is that thing connected. Does it connect to the flex fuel kit under the hood?

Correct. If you buy the Dsteck kit his sensor signal wire attaches under the hood on his flex fuel harness and is ran inside the car. We always go to the passenger side and put the display in the glove box. No holes need to be drilled for this install.

You should have posted! We want this kind of news now that we really know the whole picture (GM's cutting the fuel system size and hence having to leave out a whole E85 system. At least we know now!).

(Now about that Nurburgring Time, and that STK , A8, ~-2k DA, 9.x, 1/4!!!!!)

Default But Wait!?

Will GM bump the fuel system in order to capture this market share just like before! It certainly is cool, and perhaps this cars setups saving grace (excuse the pun!)!

Car runs awesome. It drives just like stock until you push down on the throttle. Of course its a lil louder with the headers but sounds awesome. I live in PA. Its cold up here now so on stock tires traction is a big problem. I am hoping to bring it to the Dragstrip in March/April with some drag radiaks. I think 9's is def possible
