Thanks to Carz and Lucas!

I want to thank Lucas and the peeps at Carz once again! I took my car up to Lakewood yesterday to have Lucas do a "little" re-tune!! Ha ha, it was just a little longer and a little more than that. I had my car tuned in Jan and made some decent power on E85. At 26.5 psi I made 355awhp and 383ft tq which were pretty good numbers!! When I went back up, the goal was to get the boost around 28-29psi and re-tune. Well, we couldn't because I was too cheap to buy a truboost EBC, so we tried turning up my MBC and could not get anymore than the 26psi I was already running. We tried a TurboXs MBC and still the same, although the car ran better with it on. I think my Perrin just took a crap.

Anyway we were able to get a great tune nevertheless, the car made 372awhp and 405ft tq!!!!!!!! That was with 25.2psi and it was very hot outside! There is still a lot more there and I will be back up in a couple of weeks to throw on the Truboost and make hopefully over 400awhp and even more tq.

BTW- We did find out something interesting! Whe I first got tuned on E85 I filled up at a Shell off of Alemeda and it was the winter blend. Since I live in the Spriings, I have been filling up at the 2 Western Conv stations and they have never offered the winter blend. It is the 85% blend and it made a BIG difference in my car!! So if you guys have been tuned for the winter blend and fill up at Western there is a good chance you will need a re-tune!!!

Good luck shooting for 400+whp.

I just started using Western Convenience - the one on Platte. I did some research and found out the one on Briargate and Union also carries E-85, so I'll be using that from now on.

Aside from all the drama, Thanks Chuck! Once we get your throttlebody to quit leaking you should make 27-28psi hopefully, I did notice that your boost gauge was spiking around 30psi and leveling out around 27psi then tapering down to 23psi by the end of the pull. No two turbos are the same, just as every car I tune has different tunes even though some have similar mods.
