This car just likes to eat motors doesn't it!

Full coverage yes, and yes I do pay more in my policy for mechanical failure, act of god type stuff that could happen, so its not like I'm taking advantage of the system to screw with everyone's rates I actually pay out my Ass for all my rides to be fully insured and covered no matter what.

It's either that or cry like a seventeen year old girl that just got dumped 9hrs before prom.

The ethanol gauges cost a lot due to the sensor itself being a small fortune. Haltech is now selling a slightly cheaper sensor that you should be able to use with the Zeitronix, but it's still not cheap. Unless you can somehow find one in a junkyard and get it out of there for cheap.

Baller cars usually datalog fuel pressure and oil pressure as you race also, since often a failure or under performance in one of those systems ends up taking out a motor and there is no good way to tell after the fact unless something obvious like 1 of your 2 fuel pumps stopped working.

Did alittle more research and the gauge it self sells for $199 and the sensor $349.
How you mean Shane, go punk one out from a Flex Fuel Tahoe or something?
I think this gauge is the Shiznit and was talking to my dad about it and well he thinks I'm crazy for sticking with E85 but for the powa I want I don't think it would be a bad investment seeing which stations carry good E85.

Exactly.

I think the Haltech ethanol sensor is $100 less than the GM one.

Or you could just get the $10 test tube and test it when you fill up...

Sure you could, but thats boring and work

Next year I plan to get the new tablet from evoscan and working on logging ethanol content, fuel pressure and oil pressure. Won't be cheap but it will be awesome for checking health of the motor and/or fuel system.

But yes, easy way is just get the tube but its not super accurate but enough to know if you have shit E85.

Sounds messy, and plus who wants to be known as the tuner with a bunch of test tubes in their ride.

[goodhart]

accurate enough to tell the difference between e85/e78/e70. It sure as shit would be able to tell you if you have e48.

Update on the Evo. Stroker kit just showed up a few days ago and was sent with the block in inline to a machine shop to get going on it. The head is just about done and things are moving along.

Very nice. I'm looking forward to tail lights next time.
