Glad you're all set. How do you like the pipes?

Is there any complete breakdown of each map setting out there? I have JB4 but have only run maps 1 and 2 out of fear of not having the right set up for the rest of the maps.

I'll have to try map 5. Map 2 is pretty awesome and very consistent. If I can find some e85 in Atlanta I'll definitely try map 5. Did you upgrade your charge pipe?

Map Info

Map 0: JB4 disabled
Map 1: Peak boost 12.5psi, suggest for most racing applications.
Map 2: Peak boost 14.0psi, suggested for those using exhaust mods and 93 RM2 octane or higher fuels
Map 3: Progressive methanol mapping
Map 4: Stock performance, JB4 on
Map 5: Autotuning, enabled in 8.8 and later firmware
Map 6: User definable map. Suggested for troubleshooting by professionals only.
Map 7: Race gas map. Peak boost 18.5psi. Requires straight unleaded race gas.

E85 Use

Models equipped with the pneumatic wastegate & flex fuel connector may experiment with up to 40% E85 mixtures. Some cars tolerate E85 and some do not. Cars that do not tolerate the mix will "buck" or "miss" at full throttle. In some cases map 7 can be used on the E85 mix and in other cases map 2 is the highest that can be used. It's best to start slowly and work your way up in terms of aggressiveness when experimenting with E85 mixtures.

Quick question, how much BHP do you run on each map? And how does AutoTune work? (I know a lot of questions, but I promise I am placing my order very soon )

Got it. I put just under a quarter tank of E85 in her last night and switched over to Map 5. No odd behavior yet, and I've noticed some power gains as well.

Autotune works by raising boost and monitoring engine parameters / sensors. IF something looks funny it pulls back boost. This is done over and over until it figures out the best settings for the car.
