E85 conversion(just laying the groundwork)

Since you're SC and won't be turning up the boost, are you really going to see those 20% gains? All you could do is add a lot more timing, right?

Since you're SC and won't be turning up the boost, are you really going to see those 20% gains? All you could do is add a lot more timing, right? I'd expect some gains, and a lot more detonation resistance and a cooler intake charge, but not the massive jump turboed guys are seeing. I'd still do it if it's readily available around you, but just as a safety measure and any big power gains would be a nice surprise.

Are you going to be running E85 all the time, or switching back and forth with pump gas? Isn't it a big pain to switch since you've got to make sure the tank is completely empty of pump gas so as to not dilute the E85 down?
