Looking for no BS numbers/recommendations

[TN GT]

So I have read a bunch of articles, blogs, forum threads and watched a bunch of YouTube videos.

It seems that maybe the E85 tune provides the biggest bang for the buck and would be the easiest to back out. Does that sound about right? I see claims that this would push the 19 to 500hp but I am skeptical of that.

I am looking for recommendations for an E85 tune for my 19 GT. I think I read that someone even provides a tune that works with both E85 and 91/93.

Does anyone have any firsthand experience based on the 18 or 19 model year and have dyno numbers they can share or a recommended device or tuner?

I don't plan to do any other mods outside the suspension in the next 2 or 3 years.

I would welcome any comments, especially anyone that has done this mod and no other.

I have a 15 but the 18+ respond even better due to their higher compression. There is definitely a difference, never had my car on a dyno but back to back on the street I would say its about 2 cars in a typical 80-100mph of acceleration during a race. I have AED and would recommend him to anyone. Most places can do a flex fuel tune and you can run any combination of fuels and the car will learn for it. It's definitely worth doing a flex tune.

its roughly 30 to 40 rwhp I don't have dyno numbers I test a drag strip..which equaled .3 and 4-5 mph

A flex tune sounds like what you would want. Ability to run straight gas, e or combination due to the ethanol learning. I would personally recommend AED due to great performance and great service but Lund and PBD get alot of love too. My last dyno pull was 460whp / 414 torque after lth install and flex tune. But that was also in 112 degree heat so I expect better numbers on my next pull. Here in AZ we also do not have real e85 so that is just on flex fuel around e54ish. So if you are somewhere with e85 highly available you would be in good shape to make some strong numbers

Not going to see 500 without possibly off road long tubes, better intake, and e85.. and even then you'd probably still be looking at a dyno tune vs remote to get the full amount out of it. There are a few people on youtube over 500 NA with 18-19's, but it was not just a tune and e85 alone.

If all you're doing is suspension I wouldn't worry about numbers. I would still tune though. You'll notice much better shifting and response with a tune vs. stock, and that will equate to the most felt difference dollar for dollar.

Lol. What a crisis your having. E85 is 103-105 octane Bro. It helps a tad on 12 to 1 compression motor. I’m just stupid like Jennystang says so do not believe I a word he says... lol.
