I agree Ed. But there is a little thing called bad gas. I have been victim to it. Gas octane rating is not always constant.

true dat

but remeber with a competant tuner and good standalone you setup a safe knock map , stock ecu running piggybacks dont have this safe option for you are relying on factory parameters as far as registering knock and how and when it pulls timing

with the aem for example you set the knock threshold more conservative for exactly that reason since you are going to be running higher boost on pump..

you set the amount of volts and exactly when to pull timing and or dump fuel for that moment


you feel me

Dre, my 608rwhp on pump says hello, and I run this all the time ( one boost setting ). Granted it's not much more than 59X, but I'm pretty confident with my alpha tune.

Agree, it's still in the ball park. I don't think you wanna spent a couple hundred bucks on a retune and about $500 more on 1000cc injectors just to gain an extra 20-30 horses. A am sure, as a safe measure, Your current map should support that by driving your car in a cooler night.

I already have 1000cc injectors, I should have put in some 1600cc injectors to support an E85 tune properly

LOL.... damn terry as if 1000cc weren't enough...LOL

I was refering to Jerome's set up. He told us last night that his race tune is what he wants to increase. And so I was off from the beginning since I was thinking he wanted to increase his pump tune.

That is the goal sir!!! A nice, safe, powerful tune to really put the smack down on you 1J fans!! Dre, why don't you want to see Wicked vs Drego??? Don't tell me that you're a little afraid??
Listen, all you have to do is shut down I-75 one night and since it's a five lane highway it'll be Dre, Robert, Roger, myself, and any other 1J in a SC/Supra that wants it and then I can put all of you to rest all at the same time!!!
What's going on here are we not all in the J family.Where's the love ??

let me see and hear things like runs against rb's ,sr20's, k's and b's what ever.

Yes we definitely are, however a 2 is bigger than a 1...

Also, in a family there's a big brother and a small brother and the big brother always picks on the little bro..

With comments like this I see why Jerome smacks you 1j guys around .I was ready to light you up like roman candle last night Dre.But as it appears I chicken out..I can understand why you would say some thing like that..As it was I did hit it right after you did and the car did something od .It shot to the right real hard.So I did back off .But believe me it wasn't from any fear of your car or the wet roads.Right before you exited my car stated getting a vibration coming from the rear. By the time I come off 595 and University Bl ,the right rear tire was smoking .I had drove the tire completely flat from I75 all the home.But not worry I sell tires for a living and see you tonight .lol .

Ay ya yai....! Sorry about your tire. You can light me up anytime, just don't be surprised of the outcome
The road seem kinda dry so I hit it and you slid my way and I pegged my rev limiter at 75 or so in 3rd which is 107.... not good!
