Hey guys, in 2 weeks im having my car converted to flex fuel, having bigger injectors put in, an auxiliary fuel pump and thermal reduction plates installed. A retune will be done also. I have kooks long tubes with cats on. Will the E85 clog up the cats and cause any damage to my car?
Thanks,
Tony

Anyone?

You shouldn't have any problems with the cats because of E85.

Thanks DSX. I hope my tuner buys or bought from you. Sorry that I didn't know about the situation.

What situation? I'm needing at least the sensor he has, is he needing sales? I could buy now instead of waiting. Maybe a whole kit but I don't know if I want to spend that much now but I could.

Dave at DSX has his own business now. He has a lot in stock. I have one of his packages and I'm installing it now. Went to see him on Wednesday. Super nice guy, great customer service..

That's why I'd like to purchase from him. We would like to hear of your installation experience especially dyno numbers or seat of the pants or how you feel the tuning is on it.

GREAT writeup you did with the e85 kit install thread with pics, sorry I didn't see this before I asked. I didn't read driving impressions or dyno yet unless I simply didn't get to that part...

Start here results from the dyno and, it runs exceptionally well:

If anything, the E85 might clean the cats out!
