so right now I have a spearco tmic and 18g I plan on going to e85 real soon

my question is this my car pulls alot of timing when the i/c gets hot when I switch to e85 will is stop pulling timing or do I really need to go to a fmic. I live where its right at 100 degrees about 2-3 months out of the year and my car and me dont like the heat I also plan (later) to go no bigger than a polka pickle and will NEVER go rotated..... thanks in advance mike

You shouldn't experience any timing pull with E85 assuming the fuel quality is what it should be. Remember that E85 is supposed to be a minimum 100 octane.

Fuel mixes vary from region and vary with season, and with local code, but with 100*F ambients, you probably have E95-98 available during that time of year. At those mixes, octane is more like 110...
