  1. AFD E85 "ProFlex Commander" for '15-'17 S550 GT

    It can move with all fuel prices, but it seems to remain over a dollar away from whatever 93 is around me. Currently find it between $2.70 and $2.90 around me.
  2. AFD E85 "ProFlex Commander" for '15-'17 S550 GT

    It's the quickest and easiest way to use E85 on the 5.0.
  3. AFD E85 "ProFlex Commander" for '15-'17 S550 GT

    Just over 30,000-miles with it. It has performed like nothing other than a quality item for me.
  4. S550 Driveshaft Coupler

    I've heard some dissatisfaction with DSS drive shafts — and some elation too. But the amount of people that said it eliminated drive-train "slop", but felt -increased- NVH discouraged me from simply just "getting one" when the Guibo wore out. A $200 new OEM-like Guibo and an evening's time after...
  5. S550 Driveshaft Coupler

    I've been working on Audis and Porsche for a while now — and sometimes, the torque-specs have -snapped- bolts. Now, keep in mind, that's with the ridiculous amount of aluminum (especially Porsche) used for fasteners on certain brands. Replacing the Guibo resolved the return of highway-speed...
  6. AFD E85 "ProFlex Commander" for '15-'17 S550 GT

    I'd expect A.F.D.'s ProFlex Commander, piggy-backing on the more "enthusiastic" timing tables of a good 91-93 Oct Tune — would perform comparably to a Flex-Fuel ECU-Tune. But, down-low in RPMs, as explained in the second video ⬇️ , I wouldn't expect it to out-perform a dedicated E85-tune. But...
  7. AFD E85 "ProFlex Commander" for '15-'17 S550 GT

    I don't get on here as often as I should — apologies for not replying sooner. I can Data-Log if the thread is interested, but from what I've seen on Alejandro Flores's FlexFuel and E85 videos — the Copper Head stays happy at high-20s to low(LOW)-30s for efficient gains (using its Adaptive...
  8. S550 Driveshaft Coupler

    Apologies for not replying sooner, I was out of town. I just did a quick check and didn't find them right away either — but I'll tell you this: I replaced my Guibo at work with a Dorman unit — which didn't include new bolts. But I've been turning wrenches 🔧 to not-be-homeless for a bit now, and...
  9. S550 Driveshaft Coupler

    Other brands have Polyurethane replacements for their "Guibos" (like BMW) — but nobody's made one for ours. Hell, the Dorman Guibo was the only non-Ford one I could readily find. A -solid- replacement would have to be made at least reasonably-carefully — because if you're going to replace the...
  10. AFD E85 "ProFlex Commander" for '15-'17 S550 GT

    Gas prices went down a bit — aaaand may go back up again due to "NOPEC" and ⛽️pissing contests between the West, the UAE, and Russia (heard it on the radio 📻 😒 🤷 whatever). Anybody between Miami and West Palm in SF interested in this kit, hit up Advanced Fuel Dynamics, and if you have any...
  11. S550 Driveshaft Coupler

    If you have an S550 with a discernable "clunk" or sensation of "unloading/loading-up" at throttle-tip in or tip-off — some of this is unavoidable as a result of the drive-line's design. That being said — the "Guibo" flex-coupler between the transmission and differential is a European-esque...
  12. AFD E85 "ProFlex Commander" for '15-'17 S550 GT

    That's fair 🤝 — and truthfully, your solution would have also addressed one of my apprehensions with a -new- FlexFuel or E85 tune: running a tune different to the gas-tune I was happy with now. I was only aware of the PBD, BAMA, VMP, etc-E85 tunes — and then discovered AFD. The E85 solution you...
  13. AFD E85 "ProFlex Commander" for '15-'17 S550 GT

    Update for anyone that finds out about the AFD Commander, but wants to know if it's 🗑 or 💩 — — currently at 70% with Lambda staying between 1 and 0.80 (cruise to part-throttle to f#%k you in the face-gas pedal). No CEL, no hardships, and even true to their cold-start-atomization feature — easy...
  14. AFD E85 "ProFlex Commander" for '15-'17 S550 GT

    Here's — yet again 😏 — another 15-min video from YDBT on "Data Logging". He does an admirable effort (to say the -least-) at educating on how to get your tuner the information they need — and if you're prepared to do all this for your tunes — bless you and your dedication. I salute It — and if...
  15. AFD E85 "ProFlex Commander" for '15-'17 S550 GT

    There were cheaper ways, but what I wouldn't have paid in money – I would have had to pay in patience and time. Two things that I am in a serious deficit of. I work on cars all day. Which means two things. 1) I've thought about clubbing engineers with their own kids until one of them stops...
  16. AFD E85 "ProFlex Commander" for '15-'17 S550 GT

    Here's some good stuff regarding intakes on our engine: He can sometimes be a døůčhə — but he knows it 😏 YDBT stands for Yolo Douche Bag Tuner I think, but he makes very good Coyote videos. Studied his about Ethanol when reading up on E85. The benefit of a larger intake is more actual...
  17. AFD E85 "ProFlex Commander" for '15-'17 S550 GT

    Most any power gains would likely be from the ProFlex and running Ethanol. I've tried tuneless intakes — and any intake that doesn't flow more air over a greater MAF diameter won't net too much. Maybe throttle response? I've tried a few things on my car – but my best setup thus far is the OEM...
  18. AFD E85 "ProFlex Commander" for '15-'17 S550 GT

    E85 (which by the way, can be anywhere from E50-to-E80, there's no more oversight than that) is — near as makes no difference — 105 Oct (again — so I've been told). And if the math I found to calculate octane is a correct formula — 50/50 of 87 and "true" E85 is theoretically 96 Oct or there...
  19. AFD E85 "ProFlex Commander" for '15-'17 S550 GT

    On the subject of 17MAGNETIC5.0's question — from what I've read and watch, the S197 1st Gen Coyotes require LU47 injectors at a minimum to run Ethanol — but that's coming from (-Very- Experienced) people, like Alejandro Flores. But the AFD ProFlex Commander Kit for the S197 is similar (if not...
  20. AFD E85 "ProFlex Commander" for '15-'17 S550 GT

    — in that if, should anything happen, and you take it off before going in for service? — and that if anything happens, and you -do- drain a decent amount of that fuel out of your tank... then yes. 😬 This leaves no "footprint" in the ECM, but theoretically, you can flash back to "stock" on a...
