I hope you're less confused.

Yes, thanks! Makes total sense! 3 days can be a lifetime!

You're telling me! These last few weeks waiting on parts to come in the mail have felt like forever!

The wait sucks! I'm waiting on a cam kit and converter to come in from Pray and the wait is killing me. The converter came in at the end of last week now if the cam will hurry up.

I never claim to be a tuner and anybody that has PM'd me asking for help I send directly to him. I won't tune others cars, but I do know a bit about these ECM's thanks to Brett. I give all credit to him and very much appreciate the info he has shared with me.

Ahh gotcha.

I haven't decided on heavy bolt on mods at this juncture so justifying a full dyno/street tune at this point seems wasteful.

After posting the above, I read through this entire thread and it looks like there's no consensus on whether or not anyone is offering an email tune for those simply installing the e85 kit. So, with all the experts chiming in, I have concluded that no-one knows for sure.

I have had most of my 6 Camaros dyno tuned at DynoSpeed in Memphis but only because I installed headers which require it to get the full performance gain. I hadn't intended to do headers on the new Camaro since there seems to be some doubt about headers offering substantial gains over OEM exhausts.

So, this question: has anyone acquired an email tune that satisfactorily completed the e85 kit?

I missed it I guess but yeah contact Pray and he can do it for you.

ParisTNDude, you could also try Jannetty Racing Enterprises. Ted Jannetty just completed headders and E85 w/Tune for me. I am sure he would be glad to discuss with you if you call him.

I would do that for certain. I've used JRE many times buying parts tuners and email tunes and his service and products were awesome and always delivered what he promised. In his question and answer post, I thought he said it needed a dyno tune. I may have misunderstood. I'm going to call him tomorrow. E85 offers a lot of performance improvement if it doesn't cost $1500 as I've seen in this thread. If an email tune would get me close, I would try it for sure.

What's the best e85 kit? There's a YouTube video showing the install and it's very simple.
