I first tuned the car using water alone and an AFR of 12.5, then switched to 50% ethanol. On the road you could feel a difference (more power or more "happy engine" somehow).
I then tried different timing curves and find out I could run more timing when using more mix, this to have zero knock retard.

On the dyno... surprise! Timing and mix quantity had no influence on the power. Not a single HP!
Right now I run the lower timing for max power with the minimum amount of water/alcohol. The wideband shows about 12:1

Actually it's 6GPH and 17* timing advance (this for a 98 LS1 engine).
