Hey all, got a 2020 GT2 AWD. So far I have put on a Borla cat-back and BMS intakes, with the Mx free OCC. I did get the performance package from BMS, but have yet to install the JB4 or the spark plugs, I gapped them to .022" like BMS suggests, but haven't installed either the tuner or plugs yet. I am leery to put in the tuner, if/when I do, I don't plan to run over map2. Don't wanna risk blowing the motor as I plan to keep this baby a while.

What kind of Mx interval is running the Denso 5346 IKH24 at lap2 as a max, but only when someone wants to play(not for daily driving). I am not going to try and do the E85 mixing, it would just be 91/93 premium fuel with the extra boost from the JB4 if I were to do anything. As I said, this is all new to me but want to protect my equipment as much as I can.

Thanks everyone for any advice.

I don't have an answer to your question but I wanted to comment on the E85 mixing. I felt the same way when I installed my tune, I wanted to preserve the car. But one day I found an E85 gas station in my car and went ahead and put 5 gallons and filled the rest with 91 octane. It's so fun, you won't regret it, you'll come around I think. The car runs great on Map 2 and Map 3. I've never felt/seen that I'm damaging the car.

I have been driving the car fairly hard over the past year and a half and put on about 32,000 miles. I run map 2 and 3 with the occasional 4 with E30 mixture. I think the car can handle this power pretty nice. The one thing I don't think I will ever do is the BMS Brake snip. I believe that can put a lot of stress on the transmission especially if you are running higher maps. I am ok with a more tame launch. I also intend to keep this car at least another 2 or 3 years.
