I just have this simple question: how much timing is the optimum for economy?
Car does right now have 10.4:1 compression, will have 8.3:1 soon.
And I`m using E85

Anybody have a clue how much timing in part throttle is good, how much is useless?
I tuned for knock... and this does give me upto 50° BDC, but car isn`t getting the mpg ratio I want.

so any suggestions?
Tuning the car with ECU flash (its a 1G with Evo8 ecu and 7bolt Eu-Spec 4g63, no turbo but it will get one soon)

I`m running lambda 1.15 while crusing.
