Pretty easy for me, 27 mpg commute, 3 days = 270 miles, 5 gal E10 93 & 5 gals E85 = E47.5%



Just takes 2 card swipes at the same pump where I stop, one hose is 93 the other is E85.

Cool. Thats kinda what I thought Id have to do. We have lots of stations here in Houston that offer it and almost all the Kroger Shopping markets offer it aswell. Something to ponder

Vince tuned my meth and I have had no issues whatsoever. My car is sitting around the 350 (corrected) all things said and done. The tune is extremely smooth and I feel very confident that it is still within a safe margin of operation (have been watching all of my readings on my DD closely with no issues). A lot of times when someone goes meth the natural trend is to push the car to the far extreme (since you have a bit of buffer) - not necessarily my thing but how a person tunes their car is up to them. Figured I would put this out there since there seems to be some discrepancy in the trifecta performance....

Oh and just to give you guys a heads up Vince spent approximately a month tuning my car. We were able to go back and forth with different settings and nozzles. He was very careful and persistent to get the most out of my mods without damaging my car. With meth it is very easy to spray too much or too little (Vince found lower end extremely slight knock that even my sensors didn't register due to the nozzle being too small) - a good tuner will be able to help you figure this out and dial you in. I stand behind trifecta...

Would love to hear the other member's story though....

Maybe the 4.45 axle ala ZZP unloads it enough that it pulls fine, I can only post my experience with the stock axle ratio.

Any other stock turbo's pulling a 4.4sec 60-100 without meth? (or without the bottle? lol) I should drive up to ZZP and dyno someday.
I ran a 4.3 second time last winter on 93 octane. I have been having a WG issue with my car for a while now though. Seems like right after I put the stage 1 kit on the car it has been leaking. Not sure if the adjustment came loose again or if the WG is just leaking but car is slow as hell to build boost and will hit only 17-20 psi right now if I am lucky (takes 3 seconds to build full boost too) I gotta crawl under my car and see what is going on down there. PITA to get to the WG rod on this car too.

i had that same problem... i would only boost 15psi tho... it wouldnt let me go over 15 and the you can hear a big leak... it wasent the charge pipes nor the intercooler for sure cuz the were brand new and did a leak test... the told me it might of been the wg rod but never fixed it since i was going to install the new turbo... good luck with that!

I will get it fixed just have to get the car up in the air and wait for 4 hours for the turbo to completely cool off.
