Can you see the difference in your IDCs with the E85 vs 93 or is that controlled via the factory flex fuel sensor?
I have not looked at the duty cycle, but I have 1000cc injectors and when tuned on pump gas they weren't even at 50%. It is all controlled via factory flex fuel and to my understanding adds 3* of timing at 100% ethanol. I actually went to install a GM sensor, climbed under the truck, and found that it was a factory option on the truck! just a quick flip of the ECU

I did some reading as well and you're spot on. Its a shame my connecting rods are the weak link, other wise id turn it up a bit more

also, heres an IG/FB pic i dont think i shared here. Little bit of bondo and paint will make it something it really aint....
