9.765

Put it on the dyno and keep giving it timing until you do not see a torque or power increase. Then back it down a degree or so and set it. It won't detonate so don't worry. Give it what it wants.

Since all combos are different, due to engine efficiency, timing events will be different.

The more efficent an engine, the less timing it needs.

I like to target .8 Lamda for WOT on a boosted engine.

Random, but, OP, I just watched a YT video of your car racing an 01 Cobra half hour ago. lol

 

[KINGCOBRA86]

Good idea! lol. thats exactly the place I fill up.

I haven't told you this before...but my wife is the SEC reporting manager for Stripes (ticker SUSS and also they've spun off the fuel mlp SUSP). I've talked to the fuel VP craig scotten and I've lobbied to get E85 in EVERY damn new station they open! Lol! He thinks I'm nutz...but he loves the cobra! LOL. SUSS actually has just broke into the fortune500 and penetrated the houston market...I'd assume you will start seeing them in DFW 2013 or 2014...with E85 pumps! :rockon:

We have a lot of stripe stores out here in west texas, send some e85 are way!!! Lol

the one @ 301/Bloomingdale is right by I75, you could make it down here from USF in like 15 minutes from Fowler if your close to the Interstate.
