I hope he found my problem, but as you and I both know, it is a slippery slope in the world of tuning a new platform! As an aside... I've been consistently using a formula of E-77 as a standard for my E content mix based on what most of my friends say about our fill station.. Today, I was filling up to test my rev#3 and a guy, who luckily enough had a test kit said the E was a full E85!!!
Soooooo I adjusted my fill, and did a few test hits, and OMG!!! Car pulls like a freight train, and best of all... No fault codes! Could be a combo of tuner homing in on the perfect tune, and warmer weather like the above poster suggested. I don't know, but I'm as happy as a clam today. Will update and this tune progresses, but so far it's very good.
One point for the poster who asked about why my tuner doesn't recommend downpipes? Quite simply, these motors don't benefit from downpipes until you get serious with a tune. To be blunt, you don't need to gap plugs, waste money on filter's downpipes, or anything snake oil related until you surpass an E50ish tune. Take to for what it's worth... I've already ran 158mph in the 1/2 mile and 10.65@131mph with nothing more than a simple tune.

That's a great explanation. I've heard from tuners that the plugs on the s58 are the best ever and come with an agressive gap from factory. I think we got lucky with this engine bc there's not a lot of room for bolt on improvement, super marginal, def not worth the money. No one had an intake upgrade, I mean the drop in filters are a plus but not worth $300, I have eventuri, until RK tunes came out with one like last month, and others on this forum who take the airbox out, but there's no performacne gain, just noise.
