The Camaro Show- How is his tune and the e85, I noticed your camaro had it done. About how long did you wait initially?

I don't know Will from Overkill and haven't bought any of his products yet, but I can speak from personal experience being a one man show is VERY difficult. Especially if you have a family. Give him time and be courteously persistent and I'm sure he'll get back to you. If you instead choose to be nasty and slander his name all bets are off. That said I am curious as to why he hasn't enlisted tuning help in the States. Having people able to provide canned tune revisions under his name would greatly speed up turnaround time.

Erndizzle99 · 08-18-2020, 06:50 PM

I agree, I hear he does good work and I hope soon I'll be running his kit and tune. Like any buyer not hearing anything from seller after courteous emails makes the buyer worry. I just hope everything is ok and will reaches out.

co14camaro · 08-19-2020, 10:37 AM

I also agree. I think most people assume there's an actual company behind a name but in a lot of cases, especially for niche products, there's only 1 or 2 people running the show. The problem arises when the product is HOT and in demand the 1 or 2 man show quickly gets overwhelmed and if the customers are not understanding frustration can build and then the person or persons give up and shutdown. I'm not saying Will has done this but people need to understand what may be going on even if he doesn't communicate the issues himself.

Im thinking about it , but want to hear from guys that have done it on the V6 camaro and who you got the kit from.

Was it worth it and any down side?

other than pinning it to the computer, it seems like and easy mod.

I run e85 I just got the kit and had it tuned by my tuner it was a 28hp gain on e85 running 60% ethanol

Did your tuner use HP tuners?

If guys have an issue with him from a lack of response and they bought a product from him, they should express their frustration with his service. I just keep reading bad stuff about his response.

are you or Anyone use the DSX kit?

1LTCAMRS · 08-29-2020, 05:12 PM

Three months ago I tried E85 in my 2014 V6 RS and let's just say, it didn't go too well. It started up fine but once I left the pump it started knocking and pinging while the engine light came on. Good thing I only filled up my empty tank 2gal. Also, I drove it a mile on E85 then turned back around to fill up 93 octane. I personally don't recommend running your 14 and up LFX motor on e85 without 1st getting a kit and upgrade your ecm for a tune.

Erndizzle99 · 08-30-2020, 09:36 AM

Just installed the e85 kit from will and sent out my factory data, now just awaiting the tunes.
One thing that I noticed on my 2015 camaro ls was that in the ecm there were no blue pins like most tutorials show. It just looked like a plastic covering blocking it. I punched a hole through it and fit in place just fine. Has anyone heard about the 15s not having blue pins to fill in the empty slots on ecm?

ABM Camaro · 11-01-2020, 12:24 PM

Anyone else try the DSX E-85 kit>?

ABM Camaro · 01-26-2021, 07:43 AM

Any YouTube videos specifically how to hook it up and pin it to an LFX camaro?

ABM Camaro · 03-15-2021, 02:32 AM

I bought the DSX Flex fuel senor for the LT V6 Camaro. I was an a short timing frame and couldnt get the fuel like unhooked with the provided too.

Actually I figure the connecting the Fuel line, re-plugging the coil pack, would be the easy stuff. and maybe hooking in the computer pin to slot 38 would be hard, but because of my time constraints, I had to cut the install short and pay my tuner to hook it up. Then We'll retune it.

I have a question about wheels. I currently have 18 inches all around. Can I get 20 inch SS rims and tires and install them without rubbing issues. I suspect the TPS on my 2014 would fit on the 20 SS rims??
Thank you

ABM Camaro · 04-02-2021, 10:39 PM

anyone ?

Tajefe Couple · 04-03-2021, 07:17 PM

Not totally helpful but I've had 20's on my '12 V6 that had 18's on it when I got it from my '10 SS no problems. They are MRRs and Foose both 10" wide wheels not stock SS wheels though.
