so in my experience for those who read this and are sticking with the lt1 and 24x conv make sure the tuner doesnt treat it like another boosted ls1 and put 16.5* of timing to it. hopefully they tune to mbt.

i would like to add that i am not a tuner nor do i have a clue what im doing but itll be fun till it goes boom. lol.

thanks for all the info
Your heading in the right direction. Take baby steps and take some race fuel for validation when you dyno. Bump timing till she starts to pickup knock. Then add some good fuel. If it goes away you know where the edge is for your setup. Also keep record of the weather for reference.
Ls1 has a 15* valve angle which makes it a more efficient combustion chamber. 23* stuff is generally a lazy setup. That's why we get away with big timing numbers.

Remember just because you go 24x, it's still an LT1 so tune to that

Bigcat.... what compression are you at? I'm at 10.25:1, 18 psi, 24* with A/W on E85. Intake temps are typically 90* or lower. Sounds like I could probably get away with a little more timing with my current setup. I'd like to up the boost a couple pounds to 20+, then possibly even up the timing from there.

If your running 26* of timing at the 15lbs of boost with no meth, Your boom will be closer than you think..

9:1
I am not super familiar with e85 but it's my understanding that it likes more timing than gas. But I would run it buy the boosted guy's on YB and get a feel for what they run.
