yes sir, not rebuilding it though. It's been fine, but was not worth saving the money for the headache it's causing me. The fcker is too damn light for any car to ever run reasonably well day to day, on the stock ecu it was iffy on the aem its hell.

Pete, I got the HD. That is all DPS stocked. I figured it couldn't hurt to have a tougher clutch anyway.

Ivan, contact Rick at DPS and he'll give you a good price. I haven't seen the price that low anywhere.

I haven't driven to work much since the tune or on 95 for that matter but I thought 335's and charger srt-8 were supposed to be a lot faster on the highway

I left the better part of my e85 filled gas tank out there this morning though . And I am not talking about street racing but dusting off cocky ****** that like to ride your *** in their "badass" cars.

btw chu, i think the e85 i got also has a bit more gas content in it. it smells like corn still but with more gas smell to it and my exhaust tips are black after today's commute. everything seems to be just fine though.

Sounds like what I have. You can smell traces of ethanol, but there seems to be a higher gasoline content for sure. I did logs of easy driving, under 4k, and saw no knock yesterday, which is a good sign.

i didn't do any huge pulls or anything and boosted and it seemed happy. trust me after a year or more of running off the shelf tunes i know what timing being pulled feels like. also i think i was pretty much tuned on this type of mix and i had more regular pump gas in the tank then too.

How did you rope Cheeco into that one? Did you tie him to a tree and tickle his feet with a feather until he said uncle?

Even Todd, who's done plenty of clutches in his day, thinks they are a b!tch.

I'd still rather run the pure stuff. My tune re-tune was on the Allentown stuff, which I think should have been Class 2 at the time.

Is E85 really worth all the aggravation? variations with 93 gives me trouble sometimes, but good e85 seems to be really tough to get
