Lol go for it man.

HHRSSouth

Oh I probably will, hes real reasonable $ on his tunes.
Only thing in my case is if he doesn't have the credits yet it will cost me more then a Cobalt SS/TC to tune.

bamaboy22

True. I just emailed Vince. If this doesn't cost anything I'll get a tune when we do the dyno meet I'll bring 5 gallons and throw it in after the 1st pull and load the tune.

JBThrasher22

I believe they were saying at one point since it is such a radical switch with the different tunes between a 93 and a e85 that Vince wouldn't do a combo tune with the e85 option. Let me know what he says because I am curious too , although I doubt I will do e85 since the closest station is over 2 hours away since they closed the one that was right up the road because not many people used it.

bamaboy22

Or we can do this. All 3 of us get a tune. I'll bring 10 gallons of e with me to they dyno meet and we see the power diff lol then switch back

JBThrasher22

I hope to have more mods added by then, just basics I need a intake and charge pipes next. Having to pay for this damn wedding and cruise sucks it is depleting my parts funds ha ha. Was a pretty good deal on a Hahn Intake in the classified , it was 175 shipped to me but I don't think I am going to get it. I'll end up going with a K & N short ram and OTTP upper and lower pipes probably. Intake first then pipes.

bamaboy22

Check out the dejon short air ram

JBThrasher22

Yeah , only thing is that by adding a filter you get so close to what I could get a k & n for. The only thing I do like about the dejon more than the k & n is the ability to have it powder coated to match the car and also you can by the extender pipe now to make it into an cai or a sri depending on how the weather is.

I don't trust short rams. I ran one on my old GTP and I never could get it tuned right. KR was present and the MAF hated it. Switched to a fenderwell CAI with no other changes and the problem disappeared. The reason I went hahn is simple. Only hahn and Injen had fenderwell CAIs in black(AEM is polished only) and blueberry and terminator both said the injen was junk and almost impossible to tune for... so by process of elimination, the hahn won. I wanted the intake to match my black charge piping

I bought it when Turbo Tech racing had one of their kickass sales going on them and only paid like $250 shipped

bamaboy22

E is 3.15 a gallon down the rd

HHRSSouth

93 oct is $3.80

So not only will you make all that power stock you get to pay less for higher octane gas
E85=110 octane

HHRSSouth

I guess josh is going to have the most powerful Cobalt SS in Bama now, unless someone has a turbo swap I don't know about.
Sad thing is Josh has no mods but a tune

08inBama

except with E85, you will take about a 3mpg reduction

HHRSSouth

Not really, your mpg are about the same but you use more fuel. Thus why us bigger turbo guys will need some type of bigger pump or extra fuel, the stock system isn;t going to allow enough fuel flow for E85 and bigger turbo.

But just a tune E85, damn impressive.
I mean how embarassing if someone ask what all you have done to your Cobalt SS/tc and you spew out all these mods and tell them your whp/wtq to only find out you been beat by a bone stock E85 Cobalt SS/TC. I would be pissed to be honest, but more power to the guys that have E85 available.
Some times its good to wait it out in the mod world.

08inBama

or... just imagine how nasty these cars will be when on E85 and NOT stock

bamaboy22

Adam buy some jugs get the tune I'll bring u some

HHRSSouth

Thats about the only thing it would be good for us, drag racing, we don't have any E stations up here to run it all the time.

bamaboy22

But still would be nice for him to do that and I would mind

08inBama

how much is the tune? I'd consider it, just save it on my lap top and load it when at the dyno, etc... though removing the 93 fuel may prove to be fun, lol

bamaboy22

I'll text u cause idk how much he's charging everyone and don't wanna upset anyone

08inBama

guy posted his E85 results:



the good news:

gain of 34whp and 50 ft.-lbs over his 91 octane tune

the bad news:

that power curve flat out sucks... nothing up top


no doubt guys are putting down more PEAK whp with it, and maybe its just Vince's conservative tuning with it, but its looks terrible

laserblue2006

that power curve sucks more than a k20...lol

i would like to see more uphill or at the least flat curve..

08inBama

yeah my hard on for the E85 tune quickly died when I saw it, lol

HHRSSouth

I wouldn;t put to much faith in one dyno plot.

bamaboy22

True that
