maybe he is on 93 but I'd think >20* on normal pump gas is towards the top of peak timing levels most people are running unless they're crazy low compession. I run 17 or 18* on mine with dual nozzle methanol, 9.75:1 compression and 91 pump gas
Been driving it the last couple of days. Really feels good to be back in the saddle. I'm in love with these Ridetech shocks. I hated my old pfadt's. Powerband is nice but I need to order tires to really get a feel for all of it. Car feels a lot better in E85. Friend came over to give it s good detail.
I'm guessing the "bypass" around the flex fuel sensor is so the massive flow of fuel isn't restricted by the 3/8" line that the sensor has? That's a neat idea and obviously it works because it doesn't sound like you're hurting for fuel even with running the E85. I'm interested because I plan on running E85 and saw that 3/8" as a restriction as well.

You got it correct. With the ID1300s and triple pumps my duty cycle on E85 is 56% at 881rwhp. There is a guy in Arizona making over 1100whp with a YSi and the same fuel setup as me.
I'm impressed that the ID1300s are only at 56% DC with E85 and that rwhp. I plan on using those injectors but dual Walboro 450s. I was thinking of using -8an supply and -6an return but looking closely at your pics it looks as if you're running -10an supply and -8an return. So the bypass around the flex fuel sensor is using -10an fittings? I think -8an will be enough for me even though I'm shooting for basically the exact same RWHP numbers. I will be using a Whipple 2.9 on top of a built 427 though.
I opted for the biggest lines I could get with the Fore Innovations Fuel system since at somepoint I will build the motor and go with a F series blower. The ID's are rated at 43.5 psi so when you consider we run higher base fuel pressure they are essentially bigger than their rated.
