    Tips on going SD/MAFLess?

    My MAF is dead (got an LQ4 from someone) and it was dead out of the box, for the moment I am committed to that setup, so I am running SD for a while. My old MAF is dead, no going back anyway. Any tips/advice? I am having issues in the cold with driveability. I have to make it FAR richer...

    What the heck is going on with the E85 prices????

    Last week we were at $2.25, I know, steep for E85. Then it went to $2.55, then $2.74 where it is now. I can still go 35 mile away and get for $2.24, up from $2.04, but still, $0.50 a gallon jump????? I am in Rockford, IL, and the $2.24 is in Freeport, IL.

    How cold can you start E85?

    Well, my 94 Fleetwood LT1 has sat for 6 months now with a 3/4tank of summer blend E85. Took around 30 revs of the engine, but in 20F weather, she still started up and idled just fine. Gotta love a well tuned E85 engine! And that engine has 250K miles on it! Untouched!

    Cruise timing for E85?

    What sort of cruise timing do you run with E85? I am messing with it right now in my 454 Suburban (gave up for the moment on the 3800 SC) and it was getting in the 9-11 city range with around 30 @ cruise. I just upped it to around 41 @ cruise, it sure seems like it is perkier. Thanks!

    What ever happened to the Secret Service GN's?

    I remember reading about the secret service GN's that had the speed limiter factory removed. Anyone ever find one, the PROM or anything else on them? I would love to find info on those cars and if they ever made it into the hands of the public.

    3800 SC mods?

    What sort of mods do most people do to the 3800 SC's? I have a 00 Park Ave Ultra with the F41 package and I have done some PCM tuning and gutted the stock very restrictive air box. The upper end pulls very well. I am still concerned with mpg like probably most people who drive 750 miles a...
