Just talked with Speed Inc. about doing an E85 tune or 93 pump gas with meth. They're are saying they can't do it because of Alchohol content variations and meth pump failure issues causing engine failures. I can understand both though.

Is MC even doing Gm stuff any more... Last I heard the owners sold out and a Ford crew took over.

Sounds like they are watching there back. Putting your name on a tune and having it go bad isn't worth the cost of a tune to turn down sometimes.

Can't go wrong with the House of Boost either. My buddy Erik (also a former co-owner) does their tuning. He's done a lot with both E85 and pumpgas/meth.

I just had my tune done by Erik at HOB, great job...runs way better than it did with the previous tune from another shop in the area. It was kind of a pain to get it schedule, as he does the tunes as a side job in the evenings, but worth the wait. They always had several vettes and f-bodies while I was there.
