Per my tuner its 33%. This is why i was able to install GTR injectors and drive without issue on e85! At a rough guess of 14% rich that was in the clear to get to him 40 minutes away on the highway and side streets without so much as even a hickup.

FYI to anyone needing to install injectors at home and drive to your tuner.
