Default 91 octane is the devil!

all i have to say is that 91 octane is the damn devil!!!

so as some of you know i got my map switching switch installed which lets me toggle between 2 maps saved on the stock ecu's memory.

well i was running a little low on e85 and decided he its a perfect time to do a 91octane tune.

well this should explain it all ..simple and too the point!

so i got a base map laid out loaded it to my car and filled up and the local chevron.....and let it idled a while to make sure the e85 was out of there and then with in seconds!! my lopey as fuck loud donkey cock idle of cammed manlyness goes away and my car sounds like kitten puring and i start smelling un catylized petrol ....very unpleasent to the nose.

so i drive around tune the middle cruising area its very rich with the huge injectors and dual fuel pump.

so i get that under wraps. 0 knock hooray!!


well as most of u know first comes love then comes marries then comes my baby doing a WOT run.....well i forgot to turn down the boost .

u could hear it sputtering and detonating left and right like it was the 4th of july in my cylinders.

well i get out and turn the boosties down.....worst feeling ever!!!

so i give my controller 2 full turns counter clockwise......remember every 1/4th turn = 1psi

so i go at it again and gun it......i hit 23psi my car felt like it just had this huge flat spot in hp and tq......this discribes how i felt quite well ....

where is the beef i pondered!!

well after checking with the hp estimater i had lost 72tq and 110hp....

now i know what it feels like to have ur man hood stripped from ones self.

worst expereince tuning ever!!!!
