Looking to run this constantly so I don't need nothing fancy etc etc.

Am I overthinking it?
Mixed lambda/afr would be 1:13.04.
Current ltft is -0.8.
Injectors currently at 70% duty.
Egt is peaking at 900c

So would the change of base fuel be as simple as.

1. Setting krkte so lambda trim is near 0?
Fuelling is already mostly 0.82 in the map.

2. Adding to the cranking timing and main timing maps via dyno

Am I missing anything else?
Looking to lower egt without using water/meth injection

Been experimenting with the same. I had a guy go 8 gallons 93 to 3 gallons E (we didn't test ethanol %)  and his trims went +5% at part throttle. Car def picked up some tq (no dyno yet). No logs yet because the guy is lazy. Smiley Still pretty warm here, so won't see cold start effects for quite some time.

I've got to be careful of bendy rods, but if I can have lower boost for the same lbft then the whole system will work better.

Less strain on the smic's, turbo etc etc

I'm sure I could pay for a map switchable file creation with a few maps so I can switch between straight gas and mixed gas

I'm not sure map switching would be absolutely necessary if you're just using a small percent of E.

It's more so it's a "complete" map rather than relying on trims, incase a o2 sensor starts to read off a bit etc
