What is your total advance at WOT with E85? There really isn't a set amount, each car is different based on the mods. Also depends on how it was tuned for base fuel (91 vs 93 octane for example)....

Starting to look very Camaro-ish from some angles especially the Dark Horse. Still, it's cool Ford is staying in the traditional pony car market with the good ol V8 and manual trans.

I really like SS. Certainly looks better than the Mach E. It would be one of the few EV I would consider owning. I was hoping for more range, but the fact they offer over the air updates is cool....

I run E15 88 octane in my DD 2019 Cruze. It's .30-40 cheaper than E10 Regular where I fill up. I average around 34-36 mpg for hwy and have hit 40.5 mpg on occasion. I run E85 for the ZL1 which is...

That's a lot of work for a diff bushing that may just transmit more NVH. I installed solid cradle bushings and it was one of the best suspension mods for this car with a minimal (if any) increase of...

If I was building that motor I go to 10.1-1. Better efficiency so you can run lower boost and less timing for a safe reliable set up, but that's me. You need the actual deck height to get the true...

For comparison (mine is a M6 as well) I dyno'd 540 rwhp SAE with a CAI and Headers on a Dynojet. Added a small cam and 9.55" lower and dyno'd 649 on the same dyno. That was on 93 octane before I went...

Get a WB installed on the car for accurate logging. I prefer that over a tail pipe WB on the dyno. 12.1 is on the lean side imo; I would shoot for 11.7 and add some timing back in. Slightly richer...

Where in MN are you? As mentioned above; if you switch between the sport and tour mode in a steady state driving you can feel the car oscillate very quickly up and down before settling into the mode.
