E85 and timing
about to take the plung and add flex fuel. I know there maybe a broad answer to this question, but how much timing can I expect to be able to add to my timing tables running e85.
Stock LS3 longblock. 14 lbs of boost w/meth.

How much are you running now?
Probably will take a few more degrees

I know it's probably conservative, 16 degrees under boost on meth. I have read where some guys are running around 19 with e85.

That's more than I was expecting you to say
Curious to see what other people say. I'm at 16.5-17'ish degrees with E85, 13.5 psi or so. Would probably take more, haven't ever really tried

Around 14psi here and I'm around 16-17 making 850ish and on spray it's got to be in the 14-15 range making "915ish"
E85 just seems to make more power just from running it. I know some people in the 50-75+ hp just from 93 to E. Also don't get too caught up in the whole 85% thing. But getting anything % ethanol over the 93 is better but obviously higher is more desirable.

Never gone over 17 or so. Maybe I'm just crazy.
