I wanted to try Map 5 with a blend of 40% E85 (which is available less than 5 miles away) and 60% 91 octane, but I ran out of time. I ran on Map 1 and Map 5 and didn't notice much difference running straight 91. I logged about 400 miles on a long weekend trip and I gotta say I'm very happy with the results. First time on WOT, I saw DTC lights and heard tires chirpping  Power delivery is smooth and strong to redline.
I'll report back when I get some E85 in her and autotune on Map 5.
Any reason to not just clear codes and leave JB4 in for routine trips to dealer (I'm CPO for next two years)? |
What JB4 do you have? G5 or G4? You are going to LOVE the E85. You won't see much more boost if any on CA 91 and Map 5. With Map 5 and E85 set your boost limit to 18psi and you should be able to peg that with a 40-50 mix and perfect timing. When you need more, think about a DCI and an FMIC.
