I don't recall anyone on the forums going through Vermont tuning, but the ability to tune with use of a flex fuel sensor would be great

You know he actually addressed that himself on here in the E85 Flex Fuel post months ago if you were to read up you'd be better off then saying a business owner who has never lied and has been forthcomig upon request is lying.

As for communication I've never had an issue getting ahold of brian ever. He usually gets back to me in a few hours or if it's the weekend the next business day and I'm not even a customer yet.

^Probably got tired of answering the same mundane questions over and over again. Seems to be a recurring issue on ALL social media platforms.
Brian is the ONLY tuner I know of to release the pin location for anyone who can read. UN-like others,.. he asked for nothing in return. Many people have begged and pleaded for that location. Before Brian was gracious enough to chime in here, I had personally tested multiple locations myself, including one vender's "claimed" location, with 0 success.
He spent alot of time developing custom tables using EFI live, as necessary pid's and tables are not compatible/unlocked using HPtuners for remote tuning.(from memory)

On that note, I still have not seen a true "FLEX" fuel LTG Camaro.

Also, rumor has it ZZP has made some progress recently on the LTG flex fuel issue!

He was really awesome to provide that information when i asked after our flex fuel thread was getting nowhere. I hope zzp figures it out but are they figuring it out with hpt or using another software like EFILive. I wish i had used brians efilive tune sometimes instead of jumping into hptuners so i could get flex fuel but the closest E85 station is so far away I'd burn through 1/3 a tank on the way home. Would be cool to have it for the dragstrip though.

well if the dealership can figure out why my car is using so much oil, I may end up with a flex-fuel LTG

You must exceed the use of 0.9 L (1 qt) or greater of engine oil within (2,000 miles), or (2.5qt) or greater within (5,000) for it to be considered "Excessive oil consumption", not due to leaks.

1 qt and a half in 1400 mi, no leaks, used to be 1/2 qt in 4000 mi, then my pcv system failed (so they say) and I went through 2 qts in 500mi, they replaced all pcv valves and valve cover but is still putting too much in the intake tube.

Someone else had that same problem recently and had the same companies tune not saying they are related.
