Found out the hood latch can be adjusted

Can't wait myself either. I am already testing and running the tune but still anxious to see if any more can be improved once we get on the dyno. I always love reading your review prenger, and I will be looking forward to your review once more

Very noticeable torque from 2k to about 4500 rpm. There's also a noticeable change in exhaust tone, much more aggressive, I guess that's expected since the cam phase is pulling in more air. You can also hear the much stronger hiss if you have a long tube header. So far so good but not much more we can do until the dyno.

Sounds outstanding! I'm assuming this is a premium octane only tune as lower octane will negate certain aspects of the tune that net us the larger gains?

Maybe or maybe not, but knowing the aspect of this tune I would do the highest octane you guys have available in your state. I always used nothing but premium since day one anyway. it's proven the kr is less active.

I'm sure we will know more once we see what happens on the dyno first

Bmorecam, what is the status of your last e85 tune. With the weather getting nicer out and premium prices over 4 bucks now e85 is really looking good. All I have is a kn intake soon to add blackiceolator and catch can. All I remember was some cold starting problems on ethanol?

Sorry I have been swamped lately so forgive me if I missed a critical post, but it seems to me the tune is done and you are just waiting to dyno for results. Or will the dyno determine if there are still changes to be made. Sorry very tired hope that makes sense.

Sorry if this is a dumb question. What is all this chatting about? Is there some drastic changes coming for this tune?

I'm thinking of getting this tune some day, but not sure what this is all about.

The e85 tune been running strong since last year. Unfortunately tho, there's no remedy for cold start issues except to just deal with it or just don't use it in winter.

Vince is going to be making some real time adjustment on the dyno and try different things and to see where we are currently away from the butt dyno. Still a little more to do but almost at the end.

I wouldn't say it's a "drastic" change but vince is still at work making this tune worth every penny.

Thanks bmore!

Rangore if you don't have the tune already most that have it have really noticed the tune as of date, maybe the next tune isn't drastic for those who already have it, but if you just add the tune with both updates I think it will be more significant.

That being said I love the tune now so looking forward to any improvements. when I hear louder exhaust and more air flow I get excited.

I've already blown my car budget so I'm thinking the wife might flip if I spring for a tune. I'm watching intently though.
