That would be a job for this winter! I think trick has cold side piping that fits behind the grill. I may go that route too?? Right now it just needs to run before the snow flies!

Just a little update. It runs but barely. I have several tunes but nothing that makes it drive. Took it down the block and it's pretty much in limp mode.
Thinking of loading it up and taking it somewhere to be tuned.
I'm wondering how great this is on a new engine?

Does the oil smell like your fuel? My biggest fear would be the e85 getting in the oil.

You could always put the stock injectors back in to get the tables corrected, then all you would have to correct is the injector data after you put them back in.

You already got the hard work knocked out, id take it somewhere to let a pro tune it, like you said dont want to accidentally damage anything with tune barely running at the moment.... Not sure if you have someone good in your area though, its tough to find a good tuner sometimes

Good news....Spent two hours this morning on Teamviewer with my Tuner. He got it running pretty good. All the problems we had were from a corrupt file. Had problems with it wanting to shut the throttle at 2500 on its own. Flashed it back to stock and started completely over. That did the trick. He said all the constant write overs get others people crap in there.
I'm going to drive it here this afternoon and try to dial the VE table. I just got into the boost this morning a little and makes me really excited the way the engine pulls!!
