A lot of you have questions about Flex Fuel and how it works. This video will explain the basic "ins and outs" on Flex Fuel and why it's your best first modification!
I took my 2014 1LE to these guys in July. They were great. I didn’t get this sensor put in yet however I will be once I can nab some American Racing Long Tubes. The tune they did for me is fantastic with basic mods and well worth the money spent. All the guys I met and talked to were very cool and didn’t treat me like a noob. Customer service was the best and I’ve told many friends about my experience and will continue business with CMS! Thank you guys from my Camaro and I!
People always fail to tell you boosted engines like LT4 don’t quite work right with DSX kit. Engine starves for fuel due to exceeding the fuel system specs
What's up guys! I want natural aspirateds upgrade for my 2017 2SS Camaro! I must say the video is excellent and a lot of useful information. I've read your reviews in your shop seems to be one if not the best in California!! I myself in from northern California and would like to take a trip up there for you guys to hook it up! I am wondering how long it will take for you guys to Perform the installs on my SS? List as follows; *Kooks headers *Cold air intake *Flex Fuel kit **maybe exhaust? Looking for deep. Throaty! Stock tune "to see where I'm at" 91 tuning " the fuel that I'm running E85 tune what I will be running! I day? 2 days? Thanks in advance fellas!! Donny
No, this was our own proprietary kit.. all the flex fuel kits out there function the same way. Order the one you prefer and get it properly calibrated. Your results will be similar. Hope this helps.
A lot of factors go into the dyno numbers, there have been as low as 360 something, up to 410+. The dyno type, whether it is weather corrected, transmission type. There are a lot more variables, but I can't remember them all.
Never said it wasn't a good video, very informative guy but obviously was ruined by the music thats overpowering him talking. Nobodys miserable.... "bro"
Now what happens when my wife puts 87 octane in cause she is used to putting it in her car??? And I’m serious will the tune be able to compensate while there is a blend of gas?
Yes, the cal still has a low octane timing table, and the knock sensors are still fully functional. The flex fuel cal has zero effect on those parameters.
heavyjunkops if you plan to supercharge or turbo or a big heads/cam pack you will need LT4 fuel pump and injectors. Otherwise you are fine up to around 525-550rwhp is what most tuners day. The Lt1 injectors have a nice amount of extra room Built into them.
Yes. But, it's very expensive and very impractical. It's impossible to actually find pure ethanol at a pump. While pure ethanol is a great fuel for high power.. it's really exclusive to race cars. Long term use in road cars cause a lot of long term damages as it's corrosive. Plus it has a lower energy density. However! In race cars that's not an issue. As their motors are rebuilt after each race (sometimes more than once during a race depending on the rules). So their corrosive characteristics do not take a role like it would sitting in a car overnight for years. Finally, E100 is absolutely possible as a fuel source. But, it wouldn't be wise to run it in long term tracking. It burns at an extremely high rate with it losing 30% of "standard" fuels' efficiency. Power bump. Sure. Practical? No. Not E100. E85 is a better alternative. Which, before this comment spirals on knocking down E85 as a fuel. E85 is great to use when it's time to play. But, I personally wouldn't run it 24/7 nor daily it into work.
I am extremely happy with the advice Ryne has given me regarding my c6Z06. The mods combined with his tuning expertise has put a big ol' grin on my face every time I drive my baby!! Ain't no "falling asleep" with this drive!!! Thanks to Ryne and JEP Performance!!!

Stephen Jordan how much did they charge you for the tune?
Turn that music off and speak up
For real, can't hear shit
Very informative. This is one of the first upgrades I’ll do to mine shortly
Would it probably void the GM warranty? Great video/information
Most definitely
Great information thanks
People always fail to tell you boosted engines like LT4 don’t quite work right with DSX kit. Engine starves for fuel due to exceeding the fuel system specs
good info! Thank you!
And that's why I'm so glad I found Ryne to take care of my baby...:) Great video!
What's up guys!

List as follows;
*Kooks headers
*Cold air intake
*Flex Fuel kit
**maybe exhaust? Looking for deep. Throaty!
Stock tune "to see where I'm at"
91 tuning " the fuel that I'm running
E85 tune what I will be running!
I day? 2 days?
Thanks in advance fellas!!
Donny
I would have already done this Mod already if I could find a Tuner in Tulsa Oklahoma Area that does 6th Gen Camaros flex fuel. Nice vid
Did you find a tuner in tulsa area?
Homie looks like he has been rolling jitsu for awhile, look at his ears.
Lol he does roll
Ok so I live in Canada, and my 2011 yukon is FLEX FUEL. Let's say im on a road trip to Tampa and I pump E85 in my tank would I have an issue???
None
Learned alot, thx
CARB legal? Assume the kit is the same for the C7? Agree that the music makes it hard to hear you sometimes.
Ethanol is a must for guys in California with crappy 91 octane. In the Sacramento area, where I'm from, there is plenty of it too.
MOST H8D i know right im from sac too
nice. You guys are local I need to come make a visit soon
So glad to hear Deftones ripping again!
2013 Camaro SS here. My owner's manual says to not use e85 as it may corrode parts? Did GM went into flex fuel later than 2013?
All the fuel system parts are ethanol compatible, the real reason is the computer system is not setup for it from the factory .
Nothing will "corrode"
TURN THE MUSIC UP and put the info in close captions
Is this the dsx flex fuel kit?
No, this was our own proprietary kit.. all the flex fuel kits out there function the same way. Order the one you prefer and get it properly calibrated. Your results will be similar. Hope this helps.
How much to buy e85 , install and tune ? For a 8 speed
What year cars will this work on? Just the LT1 years (i.e., 2014+)?
I have always told people when Ryan spits car knowledge I feel like God is talking to me, moar vids like these please!
Cut the GD music !!
car made 412 on 91? what other mods were installed? Thought these cars make 380-390 stock
A lot of factors go into the dyno numbers, there have been as low as 360 something, up to 410+. The dyno type, whether it is weather corrected, transmission type. There are a lot more variables, but I can't remember them all.
Is the hard metal in the background really necessary?
Cut the music when you're talking.. jesus christ how do you even have a channel
Would the flex fuel sensor still benefit my car if I have a stage two cam in my g8 Gt?
Chris papi likely see a 10ish Rwhp gain
Playing music while you are talking in annoying. Off
Music while talking....FAIL!
king Remy I thought it was a great video he maybe could have spoken louder but very good video. Why you miserable bro ?
Never said it wasn't a good video, very informative guy but obviously was ruined by the music thats overpowering him talking. Nobodys miserable.... "bro"
king Remy your an miserable idiot
At least it’s Deftones
At least it's a Deftones riff, and they stopped the music while we worshipped our god, the LS3, as it spread its word on the dyno.
Now what happens when my wife puts 87 octane in cause she is used to putting it in her car??? And I’m serious will the tune be able to compensate while there is a blend of gas?
Yes, the cal still has a low octane timing table, and the knock sensors are still fully functional. The flex fuel cal has zero effect on those parameters.
YES
How much for everything?
Are you limited by airflow or injector size when using E85 in the LT1?
heavyjunkops if you plan to supercharge or turbo or a big heads/cam pack you will need LT4 fuel pump and injectors. Otherwise you are fine up to around 525-550rwhp is what most tuners day. The Lt1 injectors have a nice amount of extra room
Built into them.
not_halfbad at this power level, factory fuel system is fine.
So if i buy the flex fuel kit can i still put in 91 gas ? Or can it only take e85
BIGROUND 720 both
Will my car still crack and burble with a tune?
What mods did the car have on it ???
Michael Martinez stock with the flex fuel kit and calibration
I like Slipknot but turn that off so I can hear you better.
How much is for e85 tune and what are the gains on a stock zl1?
I have a ZL1 and been told that switching to E85 will get you upwards of 100 HP.
stock zl1 has 650 hp and e85 gives you 20% hp so about 130 hp
Psychosocial 🎵🎶
Couldn't understand what you were saying, music was too loud.
whats the engine hp gain
Anything new for performance places to try to sell to you ?
7071t6 you think 27 rwhp isn’t worth it?
How much is that flex fuel kit?
Very informative but music needs to go so we could hear you better. Couldn't take this video serious
Do you know if it is smog friendly? I've heard some people having trouble with passing without a factory tune.
Put 91 gas in it and go take the test with that.
Please repost this video without the music. Very useful information, but very bad idea to play music 🤫
The music is a little too loud and overpowering the speech.
Can you add one of those to the new Mustang Gt's?
can i run e100? i want to eliminate gasoline altogether
Yes. But, it's very expensive and very impractical. It's impossible to actually find pure ethanol at a pump. While pure ethanol is a great fuel for high power.. it's really exclusive to race cars. Long term use in road cars cause a lot of long term damages as it's corrosive. Plus it has a lower energy density. However! In race cars that's not an issue.

Can this be done with a C5 Corvette that has an LS3 swap?
Willie Brown if you are late 03/04 c5 yes, but you’ll need larger injectors. If you’re an earlier c5, you’ll need to convert to a p59 pcm
Speak up.... Especially with the music in the background..
Would watch if I could hear you
tryna catch a bear with THOSE TRAPS ?
more power and less gas mileage, same story as always.
The fuel is cheaper though. You will probably burn 30% more, so you just have to figure out if corn-fed race gas is worth it at the time you fill up.
My family 🌞
So if we go with e85 first , we will have to retune it everytime we get a new mod ? Such as headers cam ect. Would appreciate the response .
Correct. Same as regular gas needing retuned for mods
With these tunes, you won't need to switch maps when going from 93 to E85? It constantly adjusts?
Yeah :)
Dr.Popsicle correct, the computer measures content in real time and adjusts
Good video, but fyi the music is a bit loud when you're talking and makes it hard to hear you
whisper whisper , Chinese whisper
Lose the music and use a different guy. I fell asleep watching this.
I am extremely happy with the advice Ryne has given me regarding my c6Z06. The mods combined with his tuning expertise has put a big ol' grin on my face every time I drive my baby!! Ain't no "falling asleep" with this drive!!! Thanks to Ryne and JEP Performance!!!
Complete waste of money if you’re running an NA setup.
Explain how gaining 31whp on a stock car is a waste?
aviator4931 your knowledge is very limited here and it shows. Blanket statements are dangerous
@@brcraceworksinc.77 6% hp gain on E85 thats the cheapes HP your ever gonna get !! thats awsome
