Right now it's not tuned. I'm not sure if it's going to be safe to run pump gas until I get on the dyno. My issue is not the fuel sensor, but the fact that I have such high compression with gobs of boost. I was running around 11:1 compression with 30 lbs of boost. I dropped the compression a little bit down to 10.7:1 now. We will see if I'm safe to run pump gas and are able to turn the boost down consistently to a safe level with pump gas.

Gotcha, that's more involved than I thought. I was thinking tune for E85 and a separate one for pump gas and you could load either. Similar to running a water/meth setup with advanced timing.

The flex fuel sensor makes it so I don't even have to change my tune. It does everything automatically based on ethanol content. My issue is that I went crazy and wanted a high compression motor and didn't think my blower would make so much boost.

Thanks! Had a couple hours of a photo shoot done by a friend last night. Can't wait to get the pictures back. Also ordered more feathers this past weekend.

Laid down some more big ass stickers. Curved parts suck for that.

Motor is probably going to be coming back out. I'm having transmission problems and the fuel system doesn't seem to be working out. I'm having more problems than expected and it's just not worth it any more.

I'm taking a break from it right now. I can't even look at it.

Good move Tim... Walk away and come back with a fresh perspective.
I had to change the passenger side window regulator in mine today... Took longer to get the part from the stupid store than it did to install it. Oddly enough the cable broke rather than the motor giving out. I'd have to say I have never seen that before.

My windows are loose in the window track. Something is up with the piece that holds them at the bottom. One day I'll look into it and fix it.

Actually, I blame the WeatherTech window visors. Ever since I installed those, I've had problems with my windows.
Spent some time chasing down problems in the fuel system last night. There are a few leaks that need to be taken care of. One I think I got taken care of, the others are coming from brand new Earl's fittings.
