A little background

Hi!

I’m a prior military guy (U.S Marine Corps infantry) I just upgraded from a Kia forte to a 2023 Kia Stinger GT2 because my oldest daughter is about to be 16 yo. . I definitely like the upgrade. I bought the 450hp kit and just finished installing everything. Thinking about adding the E85 kit. I am excited to get started fine tuning and hopefully learn a lot from everyone here along the way.

That’s awesome man. Congrats on the upgrade. The stinger is an all around beauty of a car. Your definitely gonna enjoy the hell out of that thing.

Also thank you for your service.

Quite the upgrade. Enjoy. Does the 16 yo get the forte?

The stock Stinger alone should be a big upgrade, and the JB4 kit even more so. My recommendation would be to spend some time working up through the maps and learning to read logs, then see if you want more.

93 octane should be good for Maps 1 & 2, and if your logs look healthy, you can mix in ~5gal/tank E85 to make E30 and try Maps 3 & 4, maybe even 5, without needing a flex fuel kit.
