And so it has begun

Okeedokee, Wengerd 93/E85 tune has been installed. Noticeable difference on the 93 tune. Pulls harder 5k and up. Transmission logic and shift firmness definitely different. For the better no doubt especially in sport+ mode which I rarely use.

The car battery died in the process. I put a charger on it at about the halfway point of flashing the tune. Didn't help. 4 year old oem had to be swapped and it didn't really suprise me.

I did 2 data logs , the 500 step up Rev up and a partial throttle pull to 6k rpm. Then Jared asked me to do a full throttle pull to 7k rpm. I wasn't able to do that one as I had lost the weather for the day.

So far, I am quite excited and now more than ever to try the E85 experience.

Alrighty, the E85 tune is loaded and I did another part throttle pull to 6k as requested. Again, I notice a difference over the 93 tune. Not as drastic as I expected . Less of a difference than comparing say the stock tune to the 93 tune, but a difference is still noticeable especially above 5500 RPM.

I've been bitten by the bug once again.

It was actually more heavy than you would think. 3100 lbs. It had dead gears(open rear 2.29 ratio) and a 205/60/13 tire. I used to get almost 60mph out of first gear alone (TH350 trans) and a 100' stripe painted on the street on the 1-2 shift.

tires were that bad back then eh?

They weren't great. It was a Potenza RE71 if I remember correctly . Because of the bolt pattern and me being a broke kid at the time, it was what I had to work with. Also non Posi' .

Sounds like fun to me. Sometimes tires can be too grippy.
