Hows michigan compared to the west coast?

I've never had an issue with fuel but I know some have had issues when the seasonal blends change, ESPECIALLY on the E85. Prices are too high as well. The refineries that service this area always say they are struggle to meet the demand, hence the higer prices. Sounds like bullshit to me.

As with many areas, certain towns are cheaper than others but a recent sampling of prices was in the range of $3.79 for 87 to $4.11 for 93.

Yah it's way expensive I live on the coast and it's typically more than inland try and fill up but it's a solid 4.50 a gal right now

 

[Batmobile_Engage]

I was lucky that while I lived in Hawaii, San Diego and Key West I was active duty, so I could buy gas on the base that wasn't taxed as heavily. Either way, I remember paying $4.50 on many occasions in Hawaii for 93 and often $4.05-4.25 in SD.

 

[droopys]

I miss that haha

 

[droopys]

Tuned it to acn 91 we will see if that have been my issue I'll update when I get into work also had an update for the ap.
Should I set my tune for real time or the temporary?

 

[Alin]

Always set it for a permanent reflash with a ecu reset afterwards. Let car idle for 5-10 minutes then drive it normally for another 10 min to learn the parameters before you get on it.

 

[droopys]

[droopys]

Well, easy fix and nothing major to fret about. Glad it sounds like you got it.

Since there's no real way to monitor AFR without a wideband, that gets thrown out. I'd say if the boost is okay and is where it needs to be for stage 1, then you should keep an eye out for knock. I would also recommend you don't WOT since the tunes are so generic. :tup:

 

[droopys]

Hopefully

 

[droopys]

I hardy wot but I'm defineatly going to be monitoring I may just put the oem tune back on it

 

[Alin]

Between stage 1 and stock, i dont know which is better since the stock tunes on our cars are shitty. [MENTION=1507]Spamby[/MENTION] [MENTION=9]HolyCrapItsFast[/MENTION] [MENTION=1]IGOTASTi.COM[/MENTION] [MENTION=652]Grinder34[/MENTION] [MENTION=662]Batmobile_Engage[/MENTION]

I'd say stay with stage one. Cobb's tunes are fairly safe. I just didn't like the factory map compared to Cobb's stage one. Of course a protune is gonna trump both (given it's done right)

 

[droopys]

Cool I'll stay stage 1. Are the knock monitors on the ap fairly on track or better off with ears lol

I haven't heard of them being off so I'd say they are accurate.

 

[Alin]

AP should be good enough to monitor knock. Make sure it's Feedback Knock that you're monitoring.
