True story. I was in college when Fast & Furious came out in theatres. Right after watching it I installed a wet NOS kit in my Nissan Altima. I must've had the fastest Altima on the road at the time (this was before the redesigned V6 came out)

I did some research on E85 kits and found one made by AFD. So let's say you already have a RPI scoop, CSL headers, exhaust and a tune which gives you 300 whp or about 365 bhp. According to their website, a Proflex Commander adds 20 whp (25 bhp), bringing you up to 390 bhp. I guess we're getting closer. Can you disclose your full setup of bolt-ons? What did you dyno or was the 400 bhp just a guess?

Proflex Commander actually maxes 33whp on a bone stock car. Have a dyno sheet to prove The 400bhp is taking into account a 16% drivetrain loss. I don't see how it's not believable TTFS has made 341whp on a E46 m3 N/A without cams and on e85 link->
http://www. (German Boost) .com/content.php?6010-TTFS-E46-M3-S54-ethanol-tune-and-testing-dyno-results

Take the parenthesis and spaces out to visit the link^
It's now a few years later, different ideas/mods have been incorporated into my build. IF you're getting 300whp with
headers/intake scoop,tune then you're running horrible bolt ons and have a bad tune.

Otherwise ESS provides the entire package.
Yes, he did have a bad experience but then again Rated M Roadster had no problems.

Regardless, I agree, I would tell them I just want the hardware and get TTFS to do the tune. Hopefully this year I can get the VF570 kit installed.
