I think e85 has contributed for me... But I don't think I am taking full advantage of it either. I feel like its more picking up the slack for me by being more forgiving and allowing more negligence, than it is giving me a major advantage.
I think my car could spool up better and make a tad bit more torque if I knew more about tuning with e85, tuning with Osiris, or both.
Since I am running the fuel system to the edge, which tends to cause cylinder bias, e85's resistance to knock will aid me in surviving through that. But then again it's e85s fault that I'm at the end of the fuel system.
I fuel starve my car ALL the time from hard right hand turns. No, I don't have the CJM road race pump in my car lol. The first batch sold out. E85s resistance to knock has probably helped keep my engine intact through that. Ill come into full boost on an on-ramp and suddenly go lean and starve... I don't feel like a 91 octane setup would survive that after a few times.
Premium gas and water injection should be able to make just as much power almost as effectively? I think that for over 550rwhp on pump gas I would want water injection.
