set point should start around 11,7 and get lower at higher rpm
but
if you want more timing, he has to put more fuel for safety issue.
now i m from 11,4 to 10,9 at higer rpm

Too lean as said will blow **** up. Too rich will just decrease mileage and power unless you are running extremely rich which can then damage the cat and melt pistons but you would have to have the injectors running almost at the top of their idc all the time before you need to worry about that. Got my catch can off ebay for like $20 and it works fine. All it is is a metal can with an inlet, an outlet, and a drain plug. Can't really mess that up

edit: and as for WOT I am at around 12.2-12.4

Vince said it was fine and I think I read somewhere that between 11.5-12.5 is ok. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Here's the catch can I bought.

BLACK 350ML CYLINDER OIL CATCH CAN RESERVOIR TANK CHEVROLET CAMARO LS1 LT1 | eBay

I just took the bracket that came with it and clamped it to the can then took one of the bolts that came with it and bolted it to my valve cover above the belt tensioner. There is a threaded hole right there that works perfectly

and as far as is it worth it? when i did my build premium was 420 a gallon, e85 is 2.99

i like the smell. it burns cooler and allows me to get more power. but at the same time. my MPH sucks huge *****.... i think if i get into boost alot i only get 17mph city.

this last tank ive been on i ahvent been in boost terribly to much and i think ill be up around 22mph.

plus i love e85's smell haha

Edit: premium is around 380 a gallon now. so i think i dont lose or gain any money by running it. but i get weird looks from people when i grab the yellow pump cord/handle and start putting it in my car.... i had a guy at the gas station argue with me saying my car will not run on e85 that it was impossibel blah blah balh. i told him thanks for the advice that i just thought i could use it since it was cheaper and drove away. haha.

that looks sexy as **** heath. love the blue
