We bought the car as is from the dealer. They had thew work done and tuned by the mob they usually take their cars to. It was a custom tune, not Walkinshaw

Get it upgraded and tuned for e85. You'll run a lot more power and not have to worry about passing emissions test.

This guy had similar setup and the workshop went from 570 hp to 660hp atw just on e85 over 98.

True but a lot of expense to overcome an issue that a re-tune may fix. It is an LS3 I think so won't have an E85/flex gear and when the blower was fitted, they should/would have upgraded the injectors, but to run E85 they would need to be upgraded again (1000cc).

My exhaust is very fumey - i have 100 CPI cats. You can smell it at idle.

I have wondered if the tune needs a touch up. No came, just OTR and full system

"Don't need more power" - famous last words.... lol

Thanks guys... main reason for not going E85 is because it's not really available everywhere, and this thing is a daily driver. As for more power, i certainly don't need any more....lol

The car is due for it's 3000 km service soon, I'll give the yard and tuner the benefit of fixing it.

Don't stick a chev badge on it then. Every commodore I see with one is constantly sideways!

They must have the 200kw badge they are essential equipment when you get your green P's
