I'm thinking I should start a build thread. Guess this is it.

Devils Own owns your wallet if you buy their "Brew", I tested it to be 8% methanol content after I found it slushing in cold weather.

Reference this thread https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/adva...46/index2.html, I was supposed to upload this video over last Christmas but got sidetracked because I purchased materials with different densities to invent a no-nonsense way to measure methanol content quickly, where the different materials will float or sink, that's the idea anyway.

Are you using the factory PCV setup, I am just wondering how you can maintain crankcase vacuum. Or is this just at idle? My LE5 build has major blowby, haven't determined if that was the builders fault though (ehem). I custom built a large can, it catches excessive amounts of crap (I removed the factory baffling though), so I had to add a pre-baffle to help drain the crap back into the engine to be cooked again. I also welded a 5/8" barb to the valve cover in addition to using the factory port.

im a little scared 250psi will break the filter to flow sensor since they are plastic and it hits at 90 degrees. Gonna test it, i may need to support em.

Im also gonna try a set of one step colder plugs, iv been having random knock up top and its on and off depending on temps. See how she does. Different set then i tried on stock turbo. The right ones this time. Lol

I run an AEM steel mesh filter on the intake side of the pump. Is that filter/housing you are using rated for pressure?

That's the way mine is to. I'm assuming yours is from prometh though? Is it stainless steel mesh or what is the filter medium?

The tank filter should be mandatory, but for the people who can't handle it at least all nozzles/jets have built in steel mesh screens. I recently changed out a jet with my Snow kit, there was some jelling funk starting to build up, so I recommend inspecting the jet filters more often than not, maybe even catch your pump starting to fail if it is disintegrating (if that is the failure mode).

That’s a pretty legit meth setup Tom. You must be pushing for some big numbers if your going through all of that. Should solve fueling issues.

What is STFT/LTFT doing? Might try raising idle RPM to see if that helps

Ltft is fine. Stft hangs around 0 plus or minus. Then every 15 seconds or so it will half second stumble and trims will goto about 6.then back down. A/f goes to 16.5 to 17 then backback down to 14to 15.

Log idle while turning on and off your rear defroster

If its spaced out it could be the additional load from the alternator engagement. I chased a similar event for a bit and then read a comment from cobaltssoverboosting about idle tuning and the need to log various loads (headlights, fog lights, stereo, defroster, AC, windows)

I used to have problems with idle quality of Trifecta tune. Many times it would idle better with AC compressor on. But I would have the same problem (though I know ECU's way different.) It would be sitting there idling fine then all the sudden it was like a flip of a switch and it would go lean (iirc) and stumble around and then recover into a rev-fest where the rpms would rev up and down. It was very annoying and embarrassing at stop lights.
