On a separate note, I just realized something. This was supposed to be my daily driver lol. Now it's performance is almost rivaling my previous setup on my white GS. Oh well, live and learn lol

I know you're probably a real busy guy, but I was just wondering if you've had any progress on this little matter?

How in the hell do you handle 600 hp? The trac control on the GS is garbage to say the least. So do you just turn it off and go?

I just bought an E55. It has 470 hp at the crank and turning off the trac control is dangerous. The trac control on this car actually does a good job of saving your ***. I don't even turn it off anymore.

Only thing I can think of is that I have a roots type which hits low in the powerband and would it be safe to assume that out of the hole that 600hp is not there until the upper rpm range?

No offense or anything BUT

Actually in Canada we do have E85... maybe not in Alberta or your specific
location. Just dont generalize it to ALL of Canada.

There is a gas station that sells E85 about 4 km from my place....


Anyways, I'll be backing Jeff on his claims and what not. Jeff did my setup.
And travelled from Canada, 27 plus hrs trailering the GS.

Jeff knows exacty what he is doing or else customers wouldnt get work done from him.

Im not saying what you are asking as unreasonable, but forcing it as if Jeff has a deadline to meet is not necessary.

I can write even more about how Jeff tuned my car with our weather changes and got rid of the lag that happens at low rpms on a GTE with EMS. Ever since the latest tune by Jeff there has been no lag. I can push the pedal down hard and NO hesitation or lag will follow.

Another build for Jeff and who knows how many more to come

And EXACTLY how much hp your car makes right now? You might wanna get on a dyno too because I'm sure you don't make the 585whp that the white car made.
