Hey everyone,
Definitely need some advice on where to go from here. So I recently finished upgrading the car. I've got a 2.72 upper, 1050 ID, LMI, and a 93 octane Diablosport tune from a very reputable name in HC tuning (for the sake of remaining objective I won't name names). My priority from the beginning has been engine longevity over performance. This is my DD and yeah performance upgrades are great but not at the cost of jeopardizing the motor. And yes, looking back I know I definitely should've planned a little bit better. Anyways, I conveyed this to my tuner and he assured me the tune is safe. I'm making 18 psi of boost and I think that way outside of what 93 octane can handle. My data logs look clean and no evidence of knock but still I feel like this is a detonation waiting to happen. Him and I ultimately had a falling out and would rather just start all over with a new tuner.
I've been looking into e85 flex tuning, as straight e85 would be pretty inconvenient. If anyone has any advice as to where I should go from here I'd really appreciate it because I'm almost at the point where I'm considering cutting my losses and returning to stock power. And if anyone has any recommendations for (preferably DiabloSport) tuners who have had success with e85 flex tuning I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
