And a quick update. I'm not getting 32 MPG. My dic is way off, but I calculated the mileage in the real-world and I'm still seeing 24-25 MPG on the highway and about 16 in the city. (Not bad at all)
This is just 2-3 MPG less on average than my 93 octane tune. There is no question I am saving big money. The best part about it is that my tune is only giving me around 30* of timing at cruise. I should be able to get closer to 40 or maybe more to help my cruise mileage.
Every time I get more e85 in the tank, the car gets noticeably stronger. The more 93 I flush out of the system, the better the car drives. I'm finally comfortable enough to go WOT, and the car pulls SOOOO hard!

Will do! But first Good news and bad news.
THE BAD: I had some fueling issues when I tuned on 93. My fuel looked good on E85, but now it's becoming inconsistent
The problem has come back to haunt me. I've seen up to 2* of KR. It's not a lot, but it shouldn't be there with a cammed/inter-cooled/e85 setup on 19* of timingTHE GOOD: I found the problem, and I have a kinked plastic feed line under the hood. Should be an easy fix, but no more WOT until it's resolved.

It was really nice out today, so I played around in the Old 97 a little bit. Here is a speedo vid of her running on e85 from 50-90 and just for fun, a 0-90 run from a dig with a sub-5 second 0-60

The first vid is on e85 with a very general base tune at 19* of timing on a 2.8 pulley
Second vid is on 93 octane tuned by Ryan C. on a 2.8 pulley. I will have to get a dig vid on e85.
