Love, love the Q16. The power.. The smell!
On our NA race car we make the same power using E85.
You know the cost difference.

Vince - I've used a lot of Q16 also, good stuff!

From Auburn? I'm originally from EDH, just down the road. Have a lot of friends who work at "The Rock" (MB Rocklin)

Miss the good drag racing weather out there sometimes...

Thanks

Dave

glad to hear that Everything works ok,going to follow your rout when ec have the fuel lid ready! been thinking of the regulator do we need to attach the vacuum/pressure line? doesent that cause overfueling on our cars as we dont have such feature from start,i mean you get an extra 15psi fuelpressure when boosting (if your boost is 15psi) if its a linear 1:1 regulator.

Yea you need the boost port. The fuel rail gets starved because it doesn't supply that extra fuel that's needed (at a certain point), that's why the fpr is good. It can all be tuned in

I hope it makes a good deal over 550hp.

Let the board know when you do.

I am pretty sure he was nearing that WHP mark prior to going to E85 (On a Dynojet)...

I cannot wait for the OP to update us after a fun day of carjoyment

He certainly has put in the work to reap the benefits of more POWWWWWAAAH!

Whooooos ready for an update?!

Well guys...

IT WORKS
with Anthony lawshee (Tony), rsaxon1979 (Rob Saxon) and sosa (jermaine) as my witness.

Gained 25whp, and 25wtq on the same exact tune. Same iats, and only like 5 minutes after the last 93 pull.

Here's the dyno chart to prove it. (Dynojet)

Red = e85
Blue = 93

i will go back to the same dyno I used in Tampa when I get back home. As every dyno is different (we all know this) so I wanna see what the numbers are there, as I believe they will be higher. My car sees about 15-16psi of boost, this dyno read about 11-12psi. Fwiw.

And the tank had a very small amount of 93 in the tank I'm sure. Didn't test the content

Tony is truly an awesome dude. He even made me a "track tune" with added timing for track use.
Haven't put it on the car yet though.
He even adjusted the formula in the tune that equates how much mpg you get (on the dash) for larger injectors/fuel.
said I got 23.6mpg cruising at 70mph with e85.

thanks to everyone that helped!

The kit works, case closed!

Awesome day!! And those Race IQ cams in that CLS sound fantastic!!

If anyone on here is debating on letting tony tune your car i can tell you that he is not only a super nice guy with exceptional customer service but his tuning skills are second to none. My car picked up almost 100 WHP and 75 FTLBS on the dyno from the mail order tune and the drivability is night and day difference. My car now with a fixed pulley drives better than stock and is very smooth with NO JERKING/bucking/stutter etc..

Yes Tony has completely solved all the fsp problems. Something I suggest having him tune out in person.

Kit is still working great. Glad I have it, couldn't find an e85 pump on my way home from Atlanta, had to put 93 in, but no problems! She's back on a tank of corn now.

This is exactly the reason we prefer flex! Thanks for all the updates

Any updates?

Any updates on running the flex fuel kit? I have been highly considering it, but I am concerned about the "box" 's ability to adjust fueling reliably and safely. Also considering running E85 without a flex fuel kit, but that could become a pain. We have plenty of E68ish here and I'm considering a tune for E60 for daily'ing and another tune for E85 for when I have access to pure E85. I don't see when I would ever really need to run 93 since E85 is so plentiful at the pumps now.

I have an E test kit and I intend to test the content at every fill-up.

The manufacturer of the actually kit still exists. The guy that was working on this for e55s has disappeared.
