I'm guessing you have a built motor? Wait you got some small 18g that don't make much power, would not be smart to run that much power on a stock motor. Can't compare numbers and say I gained this much power when you jumped 3psi and bumped the timing. I'm saying a true way to compare E85 to 91oct would be to run same PSI and similar timing and compare numbers! When you posted your post it was like 70whp and 90wtq difference. Going to get people excited thinking they are going to get gains like that! If you have a built motor you can do alot, why not try 25psi? I would think that turbo could handle more boost.......

If you read their post its their race car. And as for my car getting between 10-12 mpg on 91 is because of what I drive. When you drive a 500+hp car it's easy to get low mpg.
This is like talking dyno number, everone drives different and has different mods and tune! How you drive and the tune you have is a huge part in gasmilage! Don't know what cars LIC are driving to get 10mpg, my car gets 180-220 on a tank of E85. Anyone who gets 10mpg either has a heavy foot or has a crap tune!
