Flex Fuel for the LT1/LT4 in the Corvettes and Camaros is purely an aftermarket endeavor. GM has not released a Flex Fuel vehicle on either of these platforms.

Which is why I was suggesting 5.3 oem truck hardware since that's what someone with a 6.2 truck would use when converting to e85. I don't know what's involved to be honest and I suppoose if we're talking about specific sized fuel lines, that's of no help.

The sensor is the same for all platforms whether it comes from the factory or installed aftermarket. Plumbing, wiring, and tune will range from mediocre to excellent.

Guess I'm not explaining it well.

My only point - The 6.2 truck has the same motor and transmission as the camaro ss. The 6.2 truck can be converted to e85 using entirely oem gm parts plus a tune.

Does that mean you can those same oem gm parts to convert a camaro to e85, I have no idea. Just figured it might be looking into.

Yes, we use an oem 14+ 5.3 truck flex sensor, we wire it into the same ecu pin
As a factory truck, and activate the flex fuel in the os just like gm does. Difference is we use the sensor more for performance use, therefore the calibration is optimized for maximum safe power on high contents of ethanol.

The trucks have a variant in the family to begin with so OEM parts can be leveraged. The cars do not have a variant to leverage like that so wiring and plumbing are custom. A proper performance tune involves more than just turning on the sensor and utilizing the table defaults. In addition a good tuner will keep your 93 octane tune from getting disrupted by the E85 tune and vice versa.

Hey bro, do everyone a favor and talk on your own post. I understand you know
How to flex fuel tune, so do I. However it looks incredibly desperate with you in here trolling our post with your constant banter.

Hey bro I'm not trying to trounce on this thread nor am I commenting on your shop one bit. The average Joe doesn't have a clue about how any of this works nor what is possible and isn't possible. I could care less about trying to take your potential customers. What I do care about is helping people out. Some people keep giving out misinformation when they don't understand what they are talking about.

If you can tune then nothing I said should be a problem or a threat to you.

I've been in this industry for 12 years now, I know what you're trying to do, don't play coy. I literally just answered his question.
In addition you've already been called out earlier in the thread for the same thing. You're trolling for business plain and simple. It's incredibly unprofessional as well.

Tim I appreciate your comments and feedback and to me they seem very knowledgable and insightful. You strike me as an expert, and very professional.

I got the same sense regarding the comment, and don't blame you for your response.

Forums are tough, especially for the experts. Arguing with marketing fluff and unrealistic expectations of the unlearned is often futile.

I'm an expert EFI tuner on Harley-Davidsons, and an expert engine builder, been in business 21 years, have had a dyno for 16. I stay out of the forums

I feel if I wanted an educated mature response to a tuning related inquiry regarding my SS I would be calling Tim...js

Why would you revive a thread just to instigate further arguing? Not cool, bro.

No it doesn't. The 6.2 is universal, it's able to be used across a lot of platforms. It does not mean that they are all the same. They're not.
