The only thing you changed was the ecu? I found adding timing in the map up to 5 psi helped acceleration and spool using e85. I tried to keep the afr in the 13.5 range as well. As long as the car responds favorably I wouldnt be afraid to add a significant amount of timing.
I think you should tune it like an NA engine below 3500 and activate antilag at 3000. IF it works great, move the engagement point down in RPM until it stops working great. That is probably an oversimplification but my main idea here is not making your 'regular' tune (out of antilag) be all jacked up for turbo spool reasons.
Keep in mind a carb GLH was a low-16 high-15 car with a 2.2. My 2.5 TBI aries would blow off sticky 205/50/15s in 1st. If your car sucks in first gear it's more about na tuning than it is about lack of boost because even without a turbo a 2.5/5spd L-body should be able to spin street tires at will in first gear. Maybe not your new drag radials, but it should still 'feel' good.
Dont push the red button.You hear me?

I find that running richer as you go into boost seems to spool it quicker, even on a stock turbo. Keep in mind that E85 also burns cooler and uses a "richer" AFR. Stoich on E85 is around 9.8 AFR.
Well, my timing table changes were a great success! The car is responding much better now! feels good again. I did not have time to try and add fuel yet but so far I am happy. Thank you for everyones help!
Easiest way to think of them is that AdvanceFromRPM is like mechanical advance, and the AdvanceFromMap tables are like the vacuum advance, in old school distributor terms. So basically the Map-based tables add or subtract timing to/from the Rpm-based table.
Glad you are getting it figured out! If it's a beast on 93 oct, it'll be a monster on E85 Also remember that your knock on E85 may be much higher than your peak power point. IE, turning up the timing til it knocks and back off a couple degrees may not net you peak power, it might be 4 or 6 degrees below knock. Haven't run E85 enough to know for sure, but it is a possibility.
Wish we got E85 around here.

the stuff is pretty awesome, you could try to make your own? as long as the neighbors or police dont think your making moonshine (although you really are, just usually not that drinkable depending on where you are sourcing the ingredients from). anything that has "sugar" in it, but if you arent drinking it, it can be older "almost" rotten, or discarded food. i found a brewery by my house that will let me purchase there old beer, or batches that didnt turn out "right", but i usually dont get enough at one time to make a substantial amount, it gets cooked down a lot...Wish we got E85 around here.
