Shifting points on a '14 Sho

Good way to find out.

The exact mix I'm unsure of right now because I haven't found out who BP buys their e/85 from and it may take a slight hit in the winter fuel mixing also. Assuming it's 16-18% right now. All I can say is my knock readings at WOT went from something, to not registering any knock at all through 4 quarter mile runs yesterday.

You guys are awesome, thanks for the help! I will do some research on e85, and start adding it to the tank.

If not monitoring your fuel rail pressure and AFR I would not exceed 2 gallons a tank, maybe 3. But a scantool combined with something to monitor on would be highly recommended in this area as all cars run slightly different.

Would shifting from D to S and back while driving be okay? Just curious on this one. Will it damage the transmission?

 

[Courier6]

No, you'll hardly notice a difference.

 

[SHOnUup]

Yup, no problems...car is really smart, almost to smart.

Awesome, thanks guys. I tried it today, and I can feel a slight change when I do it.

I ended up hooking my phone to the obd and pulled the torque app. The boost at idle was around -10, once I got on it a bit, hit like 9.7. So I was just curious, what psi are we running on these? What other important parameters should I add on my screen to watch for, like wide and and so forth? And what should be the normal readings? I have the free version of torque app, so I'm not sure what im missing yet.

Thread labeled torque PID'S take 2 is the mother load of info on this. Knock is my main reason for monitoring although that is changing now that I'm mixing fuel.

You need the pro version to add custom PID'S I think. Knock is a custom PID.

Turbos are rated for 14.7 psi. Torque is off on this gauge slightly.

And, before Rich asks for it, here is the link for the thread he referenced for custom Torque PIDs:

Have fun

How much and in what way do you feel Torque is off on the boost?  Just curious.

With Dave's dyno pulls he was saying mid 13's for boost and running basically the same tune. Getting spikes in the 16 range leeds me to believe torque is a bit off. A good measuring tool though to compare to your own readings to detect a possible boost leak.

Maybe the dyno gauge was averaging or filtering to eliminate the not very important spike. With Torque we are left with a pointer spotlighting a spike.

Good point. Torque monitors based on barometric pressure I think. And it varies with altitude if I'm correct. This may be another reason we see different readings across the board.
