2010 SS

[Larry@AMS]

We received a call from the customer in need of having his car looked at for some issues/concerns. The car is a 2,900 mile sick looking SS LS3/T56.

car came in with the following

forged pistons / 9.4:1 comp.
stock crank
stock rods
cam pkg. ( unknown specs )
Single Turbo kit w/ Turbonetics 76mm
FAST 65# injectors
Livernoise twin pump setup
stock midpipe
SLP axle back
E85 being injected via a Meth system
catch can
Hurst shifter
Unknown aftermarket clutch
Spohn arms
VFN hood
Foose wheels
Custom paint

We consulted with the customer after viewing the car and worked out a plan of attack. We got the major issues resolved and worked with the system the best we could without removing the drivetrain.


We can confidently say in the end we made the car much more safe and enjoyable to drive with what we had to work with. We also picked up some power with less boost and timing. The car pulls very hard throughout the rpm band now

The customer is extremely happy with the repairs and re-tune.


here are a few pics of the car

The below graph shows the difference of the tune it came in with ( with repairs/revisions completed ) and the results after AMS re-tune
93 octane and Meth ( no E85 injection )

E85 being injected via a Meth system

Interesting, never heard of this before. Looks like a fun build.

Not a fan of the 5th Gens but this one makes good power, good work Larry

We have never heard of it either and the reason we changed it around.

We did not build the motor or turbo system, but rather fixed many things and re-tuned it.

So is it running methanol through the meth system now?

I did the E85 through my meth system, cheaper than filling the tank up with Meth, and it's still 109 octane, so a vast improvement over pump gas alone.

Fair enough!

yes.. I noted it with the dyno info

We are not saying it can't work, but we have never heard of it, seen it. The systems are not designed to run it either (seals/grommets). The other issue is the 5 gallon tank in the trunk of a car made fumes a little hard to deal with while driving.
