Something I've been thinking a lot about a lot and I'm not sure has been exploited properly yet. We were just starting to test this on the 2013 when I traded it.

"Reduced enrichment. Enrichment of the fuel mixture at high-speed, high-load conditions is currently used to reduce exhaust temperature to avoid damage to engine or emissions aftertreatment components. However, enrichment also degrades thermal efficiency. Increased ethanol content enables improved efficiency by reducing or eliminating the need for fuel enrichment."









 
Datalog looks very, very good.  Great fuel trims, knock, etc.  Still need some insight into the spark advance setup on SCT, why the differences between SA & SAv2; seen it not just on your SHO, but others too.  Is it desired vs actual, or bank1 vs bank2 or ...
