BTW, anybody use Bell Performance products?  Seem to be pretty costeffective in their concentrate quantities.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Pretty cool idea. Little disappointed to see these Uber rich folk need 50% of their investment fronted on the tax payers of America though.

Pretty sure the biodiesel folks were ahead of the game here in that idea, but yeah.  Using taxpayer money is always how it's done, whether it's building stadiums, funding NASA or (new wave) energy facilities (solar, wind, ethanol, etc).

The idea is great and the technology is there. Just need to drive down the cost of manufacturing to compete with Corn ethanol. DuPont is used to building things to creating things that are highly hazardous. This isn't one if them so it has been a learning curve  I am doing some work at a different site to manufacture the enzymes to support the Nevada facility. This production is a couple years out yet.

Exactly, we foot the bill for "economic " reasoning ' s in the form of supposed jobs. Bothers me all around in all of the said ways. Chump change for those large bankers yet, I'll stop, politics is a sore subject.
