    Anyone Tried Flex fuel on the new Chevy SS yet?

    2014 SS A6 LS3
    I completed the pump gas tune mods are as follows
    CTSV blower/ZL1 lid
    Custom grind Cam motion cam
    ID850's
    Full exhaust
    Car has factory ZL1 pump and BAP.

    Long story short the pump gas tune on the 2.38" pulley was all done earlier today zero issues at 11.4 PSI.

    Did the flex fuel conversion with sensor and all. E38 PCM pinned correctly.
    I turned on all the proper tables and was logging Alcohol % on pump 93 and was getting 9% which seem correct for around here.
    Went to the station but filled up from a 1/4 tank of pump with E85 and drove around for 5 minutes or so and the sensor starting rising.
    Sent 10-20-30-40 and so on and then maxed the sensor at 100%.

    Followed the steps I've done on other cars
    Engine>Fuel>Open&Closed Loop> Flex Fuel >Enabled
    Engine>Fuel>Open&Closed Loop> Flex Fuel Sensor>Sensor
    Engine>Fuel>Transient>Transient Fuel Mass Evaporation>Evaporation Factor Blend (copy from 2012 Holden 6.0L sedan file)
    Engine>Fuel>Transient>Transient Fuel Mass gain>Impact Factor Blend (copy from 2012 Holden 6.0L sedan file)
    Engine>Spark>Advance>Spark Correction>Flex Fuel Spark (copy from 2012 Holden 6.0L sedan file)
    Engine Diagnostics>Airflow>Flex Fuel>Flex Fuel Sensor Diag>Enable
    Engine Diagnostics>Airflow>Flex Fuel>Flex Fuel Diag delay >10sec
    Engine Diagnostics>DTC?s>P0169> SES enable & 1-MIL on Second Error
    Engine Diagnostics>DTC?s>P0178> SES enable & 1-MIL on Second Error
    Engine Diagnostics>DTC?s>P0179> SES enable & 1-MIL on Second Error


    Now this car doesn't have the
    Engine Diagnostics>Airflow>Flex Fuel>Flex Fuel Diag delay >10sec
    Engine Diagnostics>DTC?s>P0169> SES enable & 1-MIL on Second Error

    Alot of things were being very strange with the car unlike others. Along with it reading 100%

    Now I did mess with Default Freq. and Comp change threshold with zero change.

    Now as far as i know this is the first SS with flex fuel on it.

    I'll attach the 100% factory tune.

    Any updates or comments on this? I was interested in seeing more about flex fuel on the ss sedan but I only find a few mentions of the above issues and no resolution which is strange since it works on zl1 etc.

    Yep never got back into it.
    Put meth on the car and picked up 70+ RWHP.

    Have done V's C6's Camaro SS's all no problem with the flex fuel. The SS sedan was nothing but issues.

    I was following the details of the car on another thread and while researching the issue found this thread. In your opinion what do you think it might be? I was thinking the Australian flex fuel sensor might have a different range on it vs the others but I'm guessing here as I'm still new to gen 4 stuff. I see DSX sells a kit they says works on the SS hence my curiosity.
