and then when I went back for the flex fuel work on 11/9/2020. After the flex fuel sensor installed by JEP Performance in Hemet and tuned by BRC Raceworks the car pulled 660 WHP. [Run 1 is baseline, run 2 is a calibrated tune to 91 octane, and run 3 is with 55% Ethanol]
Everything else besides the ported throttle body (air filter and box, fuel system, exhaust, electrical, etc.) is stock. Driveability is completely transparent and feels completely OEM. The Soler ported throttle body is there to improve tip-in and mild part throttle response which I found to be a little touchy with the manual transmission (making soft launches sometimes jerky). There are other little things the tune did like turn on fans sooner and faster when you "get on it" to keep temps down as well as deletion of the 1st-4th skip shift feature on the manuals. |
wow that is awesome! Any idea how this dyno would compare to a dynojet?
I think I would probably also do a rotofab big gulp in addition to the ported tb as long as fuel will not be an issue. i would just pull everything off, go back to stock tune for smog.
no other fuel mods? no need to run a wideband guage, add a bung, etc since you tuned it locally? Not a huge deal of course but this was something i wanted to avoid if possible.
i am on the fence about doing it sooner or later since i have 1.5 years until my powertrain warranty expires and i am in in the problem area mfg date for the oil pump issue.
