You can look through all of my posts on this site concerning your tuning- you will not find a single one that is not complimentary. I only was trying to get you to educate the forum on the cost. In post #8 you put the cost at $700 for the first tune and $350 for additional tunes. That led to...

"I'm not sure how I can be much more clear I can be." It would help if you would try to communicate in actual english. Re-read that sentence slowly. The question is simple- for $700 you get up to five (5) tunes that you can assign to different drive modes, right? BTW, It is Performance, not...

Is anyone else confused? So for a newcomer without a tune, 5 tunes are now $700 with the DMS?

Reread Adam's post. Looks like $2100 for 5 tunes.

Your butt dyno is flawed. That product is a complete scam. I suppose it's getting 4-6 more MPG (according to product literature)? I'm sorry you got taken by snake-oil.

The ASS isn't reasonable in everyday driving unless you live somewhere you might not move in traffic for long periods of time. It's the CAFE test that simulates situations like that so one way to inflate the fleet standards is to do something that mimics saving gas during that situation. As...

Welcome, Ned!

I didn't write the software, but with a hundred lines of code or less I imagine it could be easily fixed. I'd approach the problem as not allowing new threads or posts to be created by any member except over a certain time period within a certain number of posts. That would allow the moderator...

Where is this information coming from? From what I know the interceptors did get 4 bolt frames.

Growing up in Michigan, where we had crappy winters and cheap road salt courtesy of the Detroit mines, the easiest way to deal with snow and ice was copious amounts of road salting. I spent two years working as a mechanic after high school, and believe me when I say that EVERY job took twice as...

The only dyno I know of on the subject of the upgrade turbos on gasoline is Kruppa's build which can be read here. You'll notice a dyno on 104 octane, (caution, no mention of any SAE correction) producing 550 lb/ft of torque and 560 HP. This was on stock fuel system. The fact is that on 93...

The One A LOT of people have been waiting for!! Whipple SUPERCHARGERS!! From 5/26 - 5/29; Enjoy 10% off all supercharger kits & accessories (pulleys, etc) and 15% off all EcoBoost kits & parts. Not that it really matters to me, I suggested you do more than just "cut and paste". But, since...

My point exactly. I took the OP for a scammer since having a VIN from out of state doesn't seem at all to be "tune-related".

Could someone tell me how the VIN affects a tune in Cali? Are there Cali specific VINs?

You would have to ask Adam @ZFGracing about the particulars. It doesn't sound exactly right that he would make an e50 tune that would produce 500 lb/ft of torque, but limit a 93 tune to ~70 lb/ft less. Unless he's doing it because the octane and detonation/egt won't allow it. I don't see any...

Just to flush this out a bit more, it depends on the airflow. For example on stock turbos, you can run e50 on the stock injector/pump. But were you to upgrade your turbo system significantly, you might not have enough fueling capacity. ZFG does have a tune for e85 stock, but it has to be...

Even with upgraded turbos, 500 hp at the wheels is pretty iffy with 93. You say you talked to Adam who limits torque on a stock trans, but did you tell him you were sticking with 93? That amount of HP would need to be created by about 500 lb/ft of torque and even less than that if he's raising...

Hey @JakeLethal Would it be too much to ask that when you post, you don't go out of your way to promote Whipple SUPERCHARGERS (post #2) on an ST site? C'mon man, it's not that difficult! Unless of course your goal is to make every intelligent person on this site doubt yours?

He's a spammer- just putting out an ad.

There are numerous academic studies available online which address this situation. The consensus is that higher amounts of ethanol do contribute to higher ring and bore wear. So, it's probably not a bad idea to change your oil more often.
