I have always advanced the timing when running higher octane fuel (compared to 93 or whatever). Both in N/A and with power adders. I thought that was the main reason so you could make more power without detonation.

Yeah, but the power gain you're going to get out of this is minimal at best with E85, compared to the effort you'll have to go through just to get the car READY for it.
