Now do you think pump e85 would be that much better then 93 and boostane at this power level? I'm sure it's much better but just the fact I have 1 station in my area that has it

I haven’t dyno’ed yet, but the difference was very noticeable first time I floored it. I’m assuming you have a hand held, you can always bounce back and forth from E to gas by swapping tunes. It’s not like flex fuel. You would almost have to drain your tank, but it’s possible. With my 3 tunes from Lito, I can run anything from E55 to E90. I installed an ethanol sensor and gauge to read percentages in the tank and carry my SCT in the car in case I have to make a change. Since early October when I first switched, the ethanol content has dropped from E81 to E70 for the winter months. Last week it went back to E75.

There are gains with E85, It's not rocket fuel but you'll gain a little low end torque and top end especially if your VCT is still enabled and you ramp in timing a little quicker ...

I switched my 2010 3v to E85 and it picked up 20rwhp .. That car ain't a DD.

E85 is a real PITA for a DD. On a FI car you're going to think you have a hole in the gas tank.

As for the octane booster, I ran several cases of TORCO with 93 never had any issues. If you have 100 octane available run a tank of that every couple weeks also.

I have 1 station that has pump 100 octane and I have 1 station that has pump e85. it's already pretty terrible on gas with the pump/boostane lol but not a dd. Another thing about e85 is it would be cheaper then the extra $20 a tank full for a can of booster
