It was tuned on a dyno, he does remote tuning also. You can check out his Instagram lots of lt4 results posted I’ll link below. Stock headers all 4 cats are still in place. Standard rotofab and a bolt on cat back exhaust. He Mentioned another lt4 car he did before with a similar setup stock exhaust/cats just intake and flex tune similar numbers to mine. The customer ended up doing long tubes and came back for retune, they didn’t see a big power increase over the stock setup. I asked him before the tuning appointment was made if I should go catless/long tubes and that was his reply...he did ask me after if I had plans for more power etc... I don’t but I think if I said I did he would’ve told me to go with the headers.

7 tenths is a significant increase and great bang for the buck. What's the reason to run 100-200 instead of 60-130?

I agree and i think it will go even quicker with no wheel spin! The spot I use I really have to get on the brakes if I do a 60-130, usually doing close to 140 by the time I back off so I don’t cut the run short. where the (62-124)100-200 Im doing around 130 when i lift, just easier on my brakes ha. I do prefer looking at the 60-130 it’s just my spot isn’t ideal for it.

Main thing is when you pin it into the plug triple check you are inserting the wire into the correct pin. I went with the advanced fuel dynamics kit that has a Bluetooth module so you can connect with your phone through their app and see live ethanol content.

Nice results.

Just a FYI for anybody else reading. You can purchase a OBD2 bluetooth scanner and monitor Ethanol content and all other parameters with the Torque Pro app. Works with any Flex fuel kit.

He is using Kilometers not Miles. It's not even a full 60-130 pull.

With the OBD2 scanner, doesn’t it stick out a bit? I’ve never had one, What are the chances of smashing it with your left knee?

Lol, I already follow him. Why’d you pick this kit with the Bluetooth app? Just curious if the OBD2 is much less expensive? I’m def going to go this route now. Seems too cheap to pass up for that added power

Oh sweet! I picked this one so I didn’t have to run an external gauge to view ethanol content. The other ones that get pinned into the ecu require some sort of external gauge to monitor E%. This one you open their app and connect to the car to view it on the phone.

This needs another bump.

slim to none.

Also have the advanced fuel dynamics sensor installed about a month ago. Got about 60 rwhp gain. I do like the app, dont have to worry about getting other gauges or searching for other bluetooth adapters etc...

I also like that if there are no E85 pumps in the area you are fine to put 93 octane. Took about an hour or less to install. Was not that much more money than the one without the app and bluetooth module.

KingLT1 · 10-02-2020, 03:35 PM

Bluetooth module is 15.00. flex fuel sensor kit is 200.00. Torque Pro App is 5.00. Fuel Dynamics kit is 399.00. So quite a bit of savings but there is nothing wrong at all with that Fuel dynamics setup. It's all ready to go, no sourcing anything. Either way is good option.

TEST DRyVer · 10-02-2020, 11:02 PM

Excellent results! I'm getting the same Fuel Dynamics kit and headers (catted). Maybe after a month or so, I'll have everything arrive and book to get install, then tune. That's crazy that flex fuel alone did that.
