Ken already had our tune switcher built into his Z&#8217;s ECU so we made 10% ethanol tunes on his switcher. In the last 4 years no other performance modifications have been performed since we last saw Ken exactly 4 years ago. We upgraded the factory TT pump with a Walbro &#8220;485&#8221; unit. All fuel lines were replaced and added a flex fuel sensor with a Zeitronix gauge so Ken can monitor ethanol content and make the necessary tune changes. <a href=\"http:\/\/specialtyz.com\/blog\/?p=833\">You can see Ken&#8217;s previous visit here.<\/a>\u00a0List of mods are all in there.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/specialtyz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/e-gauge.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2753\" src=\"http:\/\/specialtyz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/e-gauge.jpg\" alt=\"e-gauge\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.specialtyz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/e-gauge.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.specialtyz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/e-gauge-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/blog.specialtyz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/e-gauge-120x90.jpg 120w, https:\/\/blog.specialtyz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/e-gauge-240x180.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Zeitronix gauge fits nicely in the 300 Degree \u00a0Gauge Pod. 30% ethanol content shown.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/specialtyz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/ethanoldynotune.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2754\" src=\"http:\/\/specialtyz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/ethanoldynotune.jpg\" alt=\"ethanoldynotune\" width=\"1024\" height=\"602\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.specialtyz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/ethanoldynotune.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.specialtyz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/ethanoldynotune-800x470.jpg 800w, https:\/\/blog.specialtyz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/ethanoldynotune-120x70.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">On an 75% ethanol content, 530 whp was achieved.
