After two weeks of driving on E85 (51%+ from Racetrack), this car isn't the same car I drove for the last year. Flex fuel is the best mod I've ever done on any of my GM RWD muscle cars, and I've had a ton of them. I used to turn off all of the car's nanny controls on the street, but now I have to keep them on. Lol

I installed our harness on my car this morning. I'm glad I did the extra connector on the signal wire. It will make removal of the kit easy as you won't have to try and extract the terminal from the ECM connector. It's doable but a PITA if you don't know what to do.

So let me get this straight.... I buy the sensor, get a E85 tune and I can run E85? Can I go back and forth between E85 & 93 or will it now strictly only run on E85?

Quick update...

All but one kit ordered during the pre-order phase will go out tomorrow. I apologize for the one kit not making it out. I ran short of the wire loom and will have more in hand on Wednesday. This loom is really nice and I don't want to substitute anything else in its place. I will get that order out as soon as the wire loom arrives.

Here is the final configuration...

I will try to have an installation guide put together before the kits arrive in your hands. If for some reason I miss that deadline I will be more than happy to help you through the installation process. I am doing an electrical test (using my scope) with the sensor plugged in to the harness to verify operation before they go into the box.

As I stated in an earlier post I've pre-tightened the AN fittings. You will see silver markings on the fittings that should be in alignment with each other. If they are not in alignment the fittings should be loosened and retightened. The markings can be removed if you wish. I cannot stress this enough... PLEASE triple check for fuel leaks before deeming the job complete. If you have any issues or concerns during the install please call or e-mail me.

Thanks to everyone that ordered the kit and to everyone that has been supportive!

If I run the flex fuel sensor and run a 60/40 mix of 93 and e85. Can I run just straight 100% 93 if I am not near an e85 station?

You can run any mixture you'd like, 0 to 100% Ethanol, with a flex fuel kit; the tune will scale accordingly.

Is anyone testing the Ethanol content of what they get from the local E85 gas station? Is it consistent?

I believe I've replied to those that did not ship out today. I do apologize. Now that the materials list is finalized I don't expect this to be a problem in the future. I will be attempting to keep kits built and ready to ship in the future when possible.

Any orders currently placed should ship no later than Wednesday.

Thank you!
Tim

Sheetz is pretty consistent on the high side in my area. I test out anywhere from 85-92%.
