Delicious Tuning Flex Fuel setup?

Curious if anyone here was used the Delicious Tuning Flex Fuel setup
Delicious Tuning FlexFuel BlueTooth Kit (FFBT) | Delicious Tuning

This appears to basically be a Plug n Play adaptation of the OE GM Ethanol sensor. One of the things that has always bugged me about the E85 conversion is if you have to use regular fuel, knowing when to switch programs. This appears to eliminate the need to "make the call"

Anyone have experience with this?

Snail Performance sells the delicious tuning package and also does the tune for it

Mann Engineering works with them in the south bay. I spoke to them briefly on Friday
Mann's just so damned expensive

Yeah Travis can tune it but not on speed density it seems like. So I have to run two separate tunes

Soon as this comes out "official" by Cobb, its time for me to change up the injectors and go E85. The big problem for me is I go down to Santa Barbara to see my parents and there are NO e85 stations between Santa Cruz, and Ventura.

Well guys - I think I'm gonna be the test-monkey on this. Just booked the time with Mann Engineering. Bill Knose from Delicious Tuning is actually doing dyno work there this weekend. This guy is a tuning legend and helped develop the Flex Fuel kit so I can't think of a better way to do this.

The car is sitting at Mann Engineering. They are doing the injector swap, installing my EQ cross pipe, installing the Delicious tuning module, and having Bill do the tune. Should be done on Saturday.
I have to say, I'm impressed with their professionalism already. You call, someone answers the phone (this is rare at Subaru shops for some reason) you email, someone responds within a couple of hours. The showroom is clean, well appointed, and everyone seems to know what they are doing.
None of this counts if the work is poor of course, but I'm pretty sure these guys run a tight ship
