That makes much more sense

I didn't measure it at my station. I actually plugged in e70-e75 in the app thinking that it was lower than e85 in the beginning and my Zeitronix gauge would come up with a value that was higher mixture wise. When I finally just called the ethanol content 85 exact at the pump, my mixture has been spot on with the app.

I have the MAD catted DPs. No smell. I had a catless GT-R a while back as a daily driver. Never again. Especially since I have kids now.

Went to Mexico.
Car is bone stock besides OTS e50 from BM3. Pulled a 7.38 60-130mph. The OTS map is very conservative. I'm guessing around 630-650whp.

This is stage 1 OTS e-50 since you don't have DP installed as yet correct?

Naw Stage 2 E50 OTS map. The OTS maps are very conservative expect way more power if you get a custom tune.

Asked because the BM3 app specifically states stage 2 requires downpipes so idk if that’s a meaningful restriction in your numbers or not but yeah custom maps usually make the most power.

I feel like OTS stage 2 E50 should be a bit faster, but maybe the new ots multimaps are more aggressive ? I ran a 7.0 on stage 1 multimap with 93.

I thought the same as well however as soon as BM3 released their flex fuel kit I’ll get her pro tune and throw on some downpipes

I’m waiting for the flex fuel kit also but in the meantime you could try the multimap OTS and use the liveadjust feature to manually input your ethanol content.

Great call out! I totally forgot about the live adjust feature. I’ll definitely do that when I get home. I’m hoping for 6.5-6.8 60-130mp and a 10.2-10.3 pass at the test and tune Thursday. I was able to cut a 1.7 60ft on the stock Pzeros on the street. I’m guessing on a prep surface I could probably get a 1.5-1.6.

The block was hot so I wasn't able to get a 1/4 mile run in but my Uniden R8 will be in tomorrow. I had the stage 3 XHP flash but I didn't turn on the line pressure bump or Drag mode. I found a new spot to do some testing at so I might have a 1/4 time for you guys soon. Also what chris3g said is true. Multimap with the e85 override is on different level than the OTS e50 map. I tested it with drag mode turned on and she def got a mid 6 pass in her.

They have been saying “this week” or “next week” for the g80 flex fuel kit for months now. I stopped looking at this point. Love bm3 and I’m grateful for their contributions but dislike the improper expectations their social media team keeps setting. It dimishes trust in the company. proTUNING Freaks

Bend Calibrations or G80 Paul. Normally I would have Chris from Motiv tune my stuff but I don't think he tunes the G80 platform on BM3

Did you get a chance to test the multi map with override to see what the numbers landed at?

I got an invalid run due to low sat signal but it was 10.79@132mph. I kind of goof up the XHP settings I turned on custom launch control and break boost override and did nothing but spin and shift super early. Going forward just going to leave it as the stage 3 flash and turn drag mode.

Glad to hear! Quicker than mine from what I remember. It sat in LA for a few days for the next DHL truck to run it up to my area.

Does anyone have a list of options that Femto does? I haven't picked a tuner yet and wanted to get my dme out and wasn't sure what all the tuner can do and what must be done when unlocking such as...
1. top speed removed
2. remote start
3. some people said about removing torque limits???

Pick your tuning platform first... I say that because with BM3, that's all you have to tell them is "CustomRom"... All you really need is unlock. Remote start is automatic as of January, not an addon. Top speed, TQ limits are in the tuning software.
