Nope. Custom tuning for e85 with no other changes though is worth about double the power of this kit. Add long tubes for extra fun.With this kit/tune, can you go E85 with it?
Does that small gap really make a difference with anything? I Have a cervini ram air hood with a huge hole on the top of the box letting air in lolI sealed a gap between the foam and the air box. A big thanks to @StangTime for his post on page 92 (#1378) and his example of what right looks like. This helped me understand what I needed to do.
I think the mechanic who installed my kit placed the supplied foam too far forward. As such there was a gap where the foam should have ended up.
To fill the space I cut a piece of 1/2 in. Rubber Self-Seal Pipe Wrap Insulation (plumbing section at the hardware store) and was able to wedge it in place. Just to be safe, I used some 1.5 in. heat reflective tape (auto parts store - DEI Cool Tape) on the outside of the air box to ensure the pipe wrap stays in place.
I went for a drive and everything stayed snug.
Haha. Great question! I can’t compare before and after temps because I had a short drive home after kit install and did this the next day. Fortunately it took longer to drive to the stores to get the supplies than it did make the “repair”.Does that small gap really make a difference with anything?

I looked back at that statement and thought, yeah, prolly not.I think that I'm finally now done with the mods.... That's what I said... a few mods ago
Getting my Performance kit and tune installed this week.
The power pack scratched the itch, for me, even two years later (it still feels like it's 2019...). I'm debating gears but I honestly haven't really had the urge to do anything else after the tune.I think that I'm finally now done with the mods.... That's what I said... a few mods ago

Now time to contact Steeda to help with suspension updates.After almost 2K posts, I get to chime in & say that I too have the FP tune/kit for my car.
Supercharging was never really an option in my case. So I went this route. And retaining the factory warranty was also a plus. Had a local dealership do the install.
I like the improved throttle response. Can really feel the extra torque down low. Echo what others have said that the car should have come with this strategy from the factory.
Car has run strong from the day it arrived with 9 miles. To this point, I have zero complaints. Has not missed a beat, or a shift since I got behind the wheel. And we've had a few shifts bounce off the limiter in 2nd, and 3rd, and 4th. Oh and BTW, taching out in 4th gets you going pretty fast.

Steeda suspension bits installed early on in the mod process.Now time to contact Steeda to help with suspension updates.
Same here. Steeda Suspension, sway bars, and stop the hop done first. GT Calibration Kit and Steeda H Pipe done second.Steeds suspension bits installed early on in the mod process.

Also I added Steeda’s hood struts, trunk struts, and catch can. Didn’t want to forget I added those.Steeda suspension bits installed early on in the mod process.
