I like trying new things. Sometimes they workout sometimes they dont. I want to see what a new motor will do. I am planning on a 370 with a LS3 topend. Of course it will only rev to 5400rpm because i am a wuss.

The addition of a fuel composition sensor is not too hard to do. The closest e85 station to me is 35 minutes away. I grab 40 gallons or so in a drum and it sits in my garage. I drive all over on pump gas and it has plenty of power for the street. When I want to run down the track, I dump some in when the tank is dry. The sensor calculates the actual fuel percentage, and adjusts the tune. I run 14 PSI on pump gas and my timing is 16 degrees. My tune adds 4 degrees of timing when I am on ethanol. I run 26 degrees of timing before the boost timing table starts working, and my plan when I turn the boost up to 22 PSI is to have about 17 degrees or so.

Just checked yesterday, peak boost is 13.4 in 3rd gear and I see 17degree timing till 111iat. This is on 93 and a m15 meth nozzle.
I've had the timing as high as 19 but had no gain so backed it down. After new fuel system I'll turn up boost more.

So i am pretty much inline with what you have currently. I think i am just going to keep it where it is set now and just drive it for awhile. Honestly 13-14psi is a handfull now. Depending on the road surface, i am on the edge of breaking traction or just flat out spinning. Raising the boost any higher would just be pointless since i am traction limited.
