My car is stock right now. Parts to be added are CAI, JB4, DPs, hopefully IC and i believe that is it.

I know that the small mixture will help with timing, but is our timing that bad that it needs to be amended?
For guys/gals like me with ACN 91 octane will and can benefit from adding 3 gallons of E85 Pump. This will allow us to run more aggressive MAPs/Tune that are rated for min. 93 octane. Since you have 93, i don't see a huge benefit other than maybe cleaning up some timing if any. But I wouldn't add more than 3 gallons without the proper tune.

now if you go to the MAP on your JB4 that supports E85 Pump, then you will see a bump in ponies.

I have a pro E Tune @ E50 (50% ethanol not 50/50) blended with ACN 91, and have a kick ass ride with just DCI and FMIC. High Ethanol is a beautiful thing sir.
