Even with the difference between the PCMs and programming Brad's tunes feel virtually the same between the 2 cars, the 11 is running a tad less boost (for now).

The 11 wasn't as responsive at PT but Brad made some tweaks and he's made some progress.

PT shifting is improved on the later years IMHO the 13 and 15 were much better. The 11 seems like it likes to hunt then once it figures out where it need to be is a little rough getting there.

14 and up got a much improved pedal assembly. Pre 14 is stiff and difficult to modulate. I would like to swap but Brad thinks the scaling may be different and may run into problems.

The 11 PCM refuses to scale OAR past -1, the 15 was at -1.4

I should probably make a thread detailing all the little changes I've noticed between the 2 SHOs and the MKS.

Not a bad Idea. Good info. I love the PT of the V11 all through the midrange... But once I hit 5500 it falls flat misfiring most of the time. Once in a while it will make it through with little or none but not very often.. Effin sucks.

Have you checked your plugs?

With what Topher just endured I'd take a look.

Yes sir... They are new and at 30 as per LMS recommendation. Tried different gaps with no change. SP534s. The only thing idk is my lpfp readings... Finding the right adapters has been a pia. LMS is suggesting their HPFP but at 1600 its a ridiculously expensive swing in the wind. Car runs perfect stock..

Suggesting a $1600 pump based on what?

Maybe pick up a used x3 or x4 so you can log the LPFP?

I would suggest an OBD app but my experience with them on the later models was less than ideal. The resolution wasn't the greatest.

Yes sir. May have actually found one. Waiting for a reply.

You are running a tad less boost as you say because you are running full E85 you nut job!...14 psi is plenty of boost for that type of fuel lol...Where have you seen that?
