So I've had my car for 3 months now, and made a bunch of changes. I change the tail light, new exhaust, and tinted my lights. What else should I do? Leave comments below.
Also put go pro mounts on my car. Vids coming soon.

Front fascia extension, cold air intake, lowering springs, paint calipers...that should keep you busy for now

You need performance modifications...

What the E85 tune

[Evil-Bee-NH]

E85 / flex fuel it's better for your far supposedly. You probably have plenty of E85 stations in your area.

E85 is gasoline with a higher ethanol content. It also has a higher octane rating. This means with a working flex fuel sensor and a custom E85 map in your tune you can make significantly more power with no hardware changes.

How much does an E85 tune run for?

Depends on the company and what you want to do you'll need the E85/Flex Fuel Kit known ones go anywhere.

RPM Motorsports sells a kit with Tune for $499.

Vermont Tuning sells it for $349 not sure on a performance tune he likely just turns the stock E85 tables on in the existing stock tune.

I'm sure most speed shops can put a kit together for you it's the tuning to fully utilize E85 that will cost you. You also need to take into account the year of your Camaro 2016 your good to go but 2017 the tuning process is much more involved because of added security by GM.

Why did GM add more security on 2017 ? They don't want us to use the E85 fuel dispite the fact that the tables are already in the ECU.

More security = less warranty claims. GM used to lose a substantial amount of money due to engines blown up by tuners/tuning/customer abuse. I'm pretty sure the statute of limitations is up on this by now, so I think I can share a story. GM paid for 3 brand new LS1's for a friend's car. This was 17 years ago at this point. We street raced that bitch all over and made a ton of money with that car. It had a cai, headers, and nitrous. We sprayed it hard enough to run 10.60's. Think over 200hp! This was FAST at the time. Most heads/cam LS1's were in the 12's back then due to an undeveloped aftermarket.

Most OEM's don't use flex fuel on boosted applications. I know for a fact that running E85 with a good tune up on an ATS will exceed the max torque rating of the 6L45 trans, and I'm pretty sure that it also exceeds the max torque rating of the M6 3150 in the ATS as well. Also, boosted applications need a DIALED IN tune. Meaning, that tune has to be spot on due to the very wide quality of "E85" fuels out there. E85 can be very beneficial, but it is not for n00bs. The amount of ethanol and the actual "E" rating can vary. Just because the pump says "E85" doesn't mean that's what you're getting. Many factors come into play such as the quality of the fuel, how long it's been stored at the station, and the current ambient temperature. We have tested pump E85 fuels down to E45! You'll NEVER get true E85 in the winter, as it needs to be blended with more gasohol so it doesn't absorb too much ambient water. Should I keep going? Or have I you already?

I've always said you need a GOOD tune. I stand by that, doubly so when it comes to running E-fuels. I have yet to see any tuner with a comprehensive E-fuel tune, and don't expect to see one ever, as it would require an OEM only amount of dev time.
