You need to decide if that's what you really want to do and where your vacuum runs at idle & cruise. Here's one for my 10.5:1 gas engine, don't know how it would begin to apply to a 14:1 E85 engine...

20* initial, ramped to 36 all in my 2000, then from 4K to 5 it dips to 35, then back to 36 by 6K.

I was running without the map advance until today. I added 12 degrees coming in at 10 PSIa and all in by 9 PSIa. It is a very welcome change. The car is much lighter on it's feet cruising around town. It takes less throttle to get it moving and to cruise. It cleaned up the exhaust so it does not smell so rich and I bet it is keeping the plugs cleaner too.
