That's right people, the long-awaited moment is finally upon us. The C8 Corvette is FINALLY able to be tuned with flex-fuel courtesy of the Global B platform. With the help of our friends at DSX Tuning's flex fuel kit, and the fellas at Peitz Performance, we could dial in the C8 using HP Tuners and BOY I TELL YA. The gains... In the past, we used to run multiple maps to use E85 in the Corvette. Now we're able to use whatever mix we want.
In this episode, Erik reviews the setup needed to run flex fuel in the C8 Corvette, including the software. In the test we start with Alex at Peitz Performance getting a baseline on this C8 Corvette, then we'll know what it makes on 93 octane. Then we drain the tank and fill it with E85 for the next run. We'll post the dyno sheet for comparison and give you our analysis on whether or not it's worth it.

You are one of the few shops that talk about actual cost. Rare for the price of the kit and even rarer to talk about installation. Good video. It’s a lot of money for minimal gains. (Relatively)

E85 is so worth it on these gen v LTs even on a stock 5.3 Silverado you’d feel the difference id recommend it to anyone with local access to E go for it you won’t regret it

Well explained. As you know cost/benefit is in the eye of the beholder. Some C8 owners have deep pockets and will believe the tuning mods you implement are worth it. Chevy certainly discourages tuning with their locked down PCM. All the best in your tuning business.

Hello, new to the Channel! Quick question what platform would you recommend better to build a daily street car? C6 GS/Z or a c7 grand sport?

Hi, Very informative video, curious, now that the ECM is unlocked, could he now add a procharger or supercharger and not have to send his ECM, back to HP Tuners, once it’s unlocked you can do other upgrades/ tuning.

Correct - the unlock service is a one time deal. We now have full tuning capabilities from here on out, no matter what mods he adds.

Thoughts on full e85 or e30/50 mix on stock tune?

You ran straight E85 without updated Fuel Pumps?

Yes sir, in naturally aspirated form, the factory fuel system is more than capable of supporting the power. FOrced induction is a different story, however.

Really sucks how shitty this car is to mod. Love my C8 but there’s no where to go with it without spending a shit ton on it. Should’ve gotten a C7 z06 smfh
