Double the fuel multiplier for cold start. That works like a charm. Mine started up straight when i did that. Every singel time Don't touch the main fuel table. Just work with the cold start multiplier.

Not alot of good pointers, but make sure to change your oil often. And i mean quite often, like after maybe 500km. The oil get soaked verry bad. And don't run stock plugs on high HP turbo engine. They do work fine, but it does get abit warm around the spark plugg hole, and u get apex liftoff. So go with 10's or 11's. And also once u get the car tuned, u can't change plugs. E85 is way to sensitive on plug change. I tried going from 11 to 10, and that did not work at all.
