I see where you are going with it now and at that low of a percentage I really don't think you are getting the real benefits of going through all the trouble of running e85, at best you would be sitting around 93 octane ish plus or minus a couple points, when full e85 is slightly over 100octane. On a turbo platform i could see it working ok, but full e85 is still going to make more, on an na car you would really want to take advantage of running an oxyfuel as much as possible by running a higher percentage.
If we could run a standalone on this car the fuel alcohol sensor would really shine, you can set them up to increase boost, fueling, and timing as the alcohol percentage goes up and that gives you a lot of versatility, it also accounts for cheap or oxy gas because most fuels now have 10% ethanol in them anyway, it lets you extract every last horsepower in the system under all fuel conditions.

I'm just pointing out the fact that you probably wouldn't roll up to someone you didn't know on the street or just met in general and call them "boy". Just didn't seem warranted. No worries though.
And, now that's getting to my question! I hate to ride the MS3, but through my experiences people on that platform really increase their timing. By as much as 5-6* advanced @ redline over similar 93 octane tunes. I know that with boost it's a different animal, and increasing timing along with boost is a 2 headed benefit.
At what point do we see diminishing returns on timing advance in regards to actual gains on this platform, and I'm curious to see how meth injection or E blends could help this.
Im interested in a blend, because ideally you wouldn't need to change much, if anything, in regards to fuel system.
