79% IDC @ 5700 rpm.
AFR creeped up to 7.6 up there as I wasn't tuned for that part of the VE table yet. Target AFR is 7.0. Unsure as to whether or not the Walbro 450 is tapped out or it just needed a recalibration.
I think I'm probably going to do the remainder of tuning on a dyno. Don't really feel comfortable driving it hard on the street, not to mention the truck is pretty conspicuous..

Crud. The thought of changing out the pump again makes me cringe.
I could always go to a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio of E85/93 but I really prefer straight E85 for the theoretical extra safety factor.

Damn that's significantly leaner that I'm targeting. I've read that you get more cooling effect in the cylinder with richer mixtures with ethanol which is why I've been targeting around .71 lambda.

It does make it cooler, but you sacrifice power. Same with gasoline. The slower burn rate of ethanol makes it a beast when you lean it out. Just keep timing in check and it'll be fine.
