My engine builder told me to be on barrel E85 if running the higher boost settings. Ignite Red or Ethanol One R.

I realize it can be an issue with pump E85 due to the randomness of the ethanol content. But there have been a couple of NA guys who had similar issues and weren't running E85. I think they both ended up lowering the sensitivity on the knock sensor on the advice of their tuner. Trying to remember who they were and which tuners. But I can't find it right now.
