E85/FLEX TUNING BY PBD QUESTION

[iram]

All,

I am looking into buying a custom tune with Palm Beach Dyno.

Wanted opinions on how the FLEX FUEL tune from them is for people that have had it or currently have it installed. any good or bad reviews from this tune? I need all the raves/quirks I can get. seems like a good company.

I will also get a 93 octane tune as backup, since E85 isn't readily available near me. or is this a bad idea since the flex fuel will allow be to switch between the two? I own a 2015 GT, and would like to know what to expect.

or if you recommend a different company. i know Lund is like the top dog in this category, and the price shows it! thanks for any feedback.

so you dont think PBD or the other could compare? Do you have lund, and whats life like with a flex fuel or full on E85 vehicle?

Do yourself a favor and just go with LUND.

PBD is good im sure but my experience is with Lund and it has been great. Ive emailed them 7-8 different occasions to either add new tunes or ask questions about my TT build. Quick responses everytime. My tunes come same day or next business day everytime.

As far as e85 goes, its addictive. You'll never want to go back to 91/93.

PBD is just as good as Lund, or you could try many others.

You are paying for Lund's name. PBD has great customer service also.

I love the tune I got from Pbd for 91 and throttle body with 18 intake mani. The car ran great to begin with and I just did one set of data logs before it was finilazed.

Unless they've changed, PBD doesn't do flex tunes, You want straight E85 anyway.

I had a PBD E85 tune and was happy with it, I made the mistake of going with the SCT tuner which prevented us from getting the tranny dialed in ..

The only real problem is fuel mileage,, Or lack there of, I could get 20 driving 80miles round trip to work keeping my foot off the gas, 16 was more normal driving.

So with whomever you choose,, Save yourself a headache and get the NGauge.

I had Lund on my 17, went with PBD on my 19. Don't want to start any wars. Currently running E85 and have been since I took delivery of the car. Couldn't be happier.

Been running flex from AED over 2 years. Performance is outstanding as is the service from Shaun (you work directly with him). That said, Lund and PBD are both top notch you will be happy with any of these three.

this is the biggest issue I have. I ran the flex tune for a tank. Then went to e85, makes me all .

I went with Lund and the ngauge. Very happy hit the nail on the head.

Since I'm going to be getting a new Mustang in the week or 2 I looked at the PBD Gen3 tuning and they do offer an E85 flex tune, It's under the 2nd fuel type option.

Still a $100 add on

dunno about that, seen 1 to many threads about pbd not replying back to tickets or taking 1 week plus to reply back, on more than one account. Never seen that with Lund.
