Best E85 tune.. WHO ?

[YBLEHSGT350R]

I used to think PBD and Rob, but on an RPG Sleeved blown set up with IDS1300, kooks, triple pump, it was months and months of premium support running around - then i trailered to PBD from Nebraska to Miami - they had the car for 2 days and on return to me it took 5-9 times to start, backfires, pops, idles at 2000rpm. We trailered home and found out Rob left - Palm Beach left me hanging despite sending an over night letter requesting for support to the owner who gave me a personal tour of the whole facility. All they did was blame it on E85, and prevented me from getting cured because support went in the trash - We had to start completely over with a new guy - we start as expected, gobs of power over 1200hp, idles under 2000, and is a beast. Thousand spent with PBD because i believed they were the best. Actually feel ripped off and then left to hang when the tuner left. It’s been a year of hell and I have never hated my Shelby GT350R but it’s been mentally for sale since Christmas last year after the Miami in person visit. Just do more research and don’t fall for the hype of who’s the best - if the best fails and you’re putting all your faith in one company - you might be dissatisfied.

wow.....how long ago was this? And no one else there could tune your car? Also, what's an "RPG"?

All this year - RPG makes badass Race Motors and they enhance the strength of the 5.2 Liter - its rated art 1500hp and works well with E85 Blown sets ups - i have a 2010 Ford Truck with a Blower and E85 - no issues in 13 years

Wengerd is amazing. My Mach 1 runs fantastic on 93 and E85 both.

I wonder if Rob or PBD will have the cojones to respond to this? Sometimes you need to invite the crooked to "Slap City" on a city tour I dont like being taken advantage of one bit. Im a diff breed. Hope you get it all resolved.

Currently getting tuned by PBD on a RPG sleeved motor too. Got my fingers crossed. I got one tune so far from them, no issues from the base tune and I have been using it, their response is slower compared to 2 years ago when I got a base tune from them on different size injectors so hopefully they figure that out. I am still waiting on a revision from the base tune after I sent the step rev log they asked for. Today is Day 5 since I sent that in.

I also requested a tune from Juggernaut to see who can tune the car better as far as drivability and trans shifting. Juggernaut is on Vacation till 16. Going to run the best tune for the car.for drivability. I use SCT and wanted to get Wengered tuned too but not sure if he supports SCT for a Gen2 car. Didn't see that option on his site.

I use SCT and wanted to get Wengered

He told me I have to get the RTD. Dunno why considering its the most basic tune out there.

What are you hoping for - did you do the RPG 1500 long block? Whipple? Kooks? 10-Rib pulley? Just curious about your combination

 

[ScottyRyan2018]

I just got a Wengerd E85 tune ( stock but for Steeda ProFlow open air CAI and some tire shine) and so far it's working well.

When I first installed it I only ran the 91 down to a point were it took 13.2 gallons of E85 to fill the 16 gallon tank. After data logging they said to run it near empty once more and then fill and data log again for any final revisions.

I'm assuming you're asking me not OP, if not apologies. Yeah I did the 1500whp sleeved long block through RPG. I have the Roush 2.3 on the car, it's a 6 rib setup. Everything on my combo is in my sig. I want very good drivability and car will see drag strip every now and then. Maybe twice or thrice a year.
