Coming along nicely. Sold me on the headlight bulbs, no issues with them as far as heat or wiring? I ask because I put brighter lights in another vehicle and the wires started to melt drawing too much power for the wire.

Yeah, I know what you mean about the heat. I thought long and hard about going to full LED's. Even to the point arpad_m was gracious enough to send me a conversion set to try. But I decided not to do it.
So I found the optilux bulbs, and they arn't exactly the same color as the LED's, but darn close. They are 12v 55w bulbs just like the factory H11's, so I dont anticipate any problems what so ever. Here is the back of a stock H11.

And so it begins...... Not quite 6000 miles on the clock... LOL
It has been a long, thought out decision, but in the end I went with Brian@Vermont tuning. He is the only one capable of functioning Flex Fuel for the LTG.

Everything looks great. Nice little touch here with the correct packard connector already included. Now I won't have to source one on the day of install!!!

[cooper1965]

For my own future reference.

Here is a little sneak peak at EFI Live's new beta software required to edit my OS

Here is the MASSIVE amount of loggable PID's.. Could you imagine having a gauge for all of these !!!

Does you 0-60 timer start before the car actually moves like mine does?

Compare the 0-60 on the p3 to the dash, and see if there is a difference.

No. They changed that in late? 17 I believe. Mine doesn't start until I move. I can brake boost, and it will not start the timer as long as the wheel doesn't move. There is a trick you can use to stop it from starting, I can't remember what it is though :(

Just watched your vid and have a question. I noticed your throttle percentage was around 85%. Whys is that we can command a 100% throttle but it only opens so far? I noticed my data said the same thing.

Its a GM thing. Been that way for years. GM interprets the SAE TPS PID as absolute voltage % (ie. the % of 5V on the TPS sensor, which at WOT is something like 4.39V or 88%). (courtesy of HPt board)
If you log the ETC or Pedal PIDs you will see they go to 100% as expected. If the TPS were to show 100%, it would set a code.

Good explanation. I feel like I've learned more about this car in the last 2 weeks than the last 2 years of ownership. Keep us posted on the tuning results.

[cooper1965]

Update on my Vermont tune - The 93 octane portion of the tune is done!

Here are the results:

This was my best bone stock power pull: Ambient air temp was 79F

[cooper1965]

This was my best power pull after the Vermont 93 pull: Ambient air temp was 95F

Completely stock other than tune resulted in almost a 20% increase in power!
I am now ready to install the flex fuel sensor, and continue tuning with Brian for mixed E85.
Hopefully have some results by the end of next week if all goes as planned.
