Thank ya for your time and knowledge!

[@BrothersBuilds]

Great info! I love the real world approach you offer! P.S. Don’t sweat the “uhs”….we really don’t mind and it’s really not distracting at all!!!

[@mikee2398]

Great explanation on things. I like your ethic of not leaning on the cars on the dyno. Do you remote tune for people?

[@Go69]

I wanted to see the idle PID updates!!!! I have an idle surge that I cannot get rid of! I've been through cracker air, follower air, PID (all 3), BRAF updates, VE table is SPOT on based on both wide band, and narrow bands... various changes and CANNOT tune out the idle surge. Also, quick blips of the throttle while navigating a parking lot in reverse causes the engine to start surging and it escalates quickly where it begins surging/stalling, surging/stalling and does not want to catch itself.

This is a great question @Matt Sanford

[@lsxjunkie]

Great video looking forward to more instructional videos to come. Where you adding the timing to the Alcohol multiplier table? What was peak for 93 pump?

[@Matt_Sanford]

Thanks! Yes I was adding to the Flex Fuel tab. Timing for pump gas is in single digits. It made 501 on pump gas timing. I don’t like to push them hard on pump gas at all. Not when it’s going to mainly be on E85.

[@lsxjunkie]

@@Matt_Sanfordagreed. Car makes good power on your Dyno for such conservative timing. Guys and some tuners don't understand that "reliability" policy on timing. I have my CTSV on pump E and 16psi at 23 deg. Total where most are at 26 on kill.

Great video, my silverado on pure flex fuel the alcohol content reads 37% all the time, is this normal

[@Matt_Sanford]

No that is not normal if you are getting the Flex Fuel that is mandated to be between 51-83%. You may have a wiring issue or a faulty sensor.

[@bubah5723]

@@Matt_Sanford I'm have 2006 silverado, I'm not sure if it has a sensor,

I hear no one likes tuning the GTO platform.
