I'm done with E85, I just got a bad batch and my car runs like crap and smokes. Had it tested and was E78, I'm going to start running Sunco 100oct, cost more but don't have to worry what blend the E85 is. I have a cutout with a switch to change maps so I going to have one map for 91oct and one for 100oct. One plus running 100oct is I can run 91oct and 100oct and switch the maps, could not do that wih E85 and 91oct because the fuel is so different.

And here is a really interesting car we tuned late last week... This is a fully purpose built Auto-X BEAST! This is an 05 STI with a build shortblock, upgraded valve springs (stock cams), Blouch 18G XT Turbo with restrictor, EL Headers, Catless TBE, TMIC, DW1300cc injectors, custom ram air intake, custom fuel system, running on E85:
A couple things to note here. This car was set up and tuned for huge mid range torque, but the customer wanted to extend the rev range out to 8000RPM in order to stay in gear longer at Auto-X events. Obviously with the stock cams and the smallish turbo, power drops off a lot up top, but it does maintain enough power out to 8k RPM to keep his speed up and saves pressure seconds by not having to shift into the next gear.
Here are a couple pics:
