Yeah The key is the boost in the GN is adjusted by the GN computer. Add a alcohol sensor to pinwheel the boost way up to 25psi via chipset and alcohol will give you another 100 to 125 hp over 91 oct. Adj injectors more!

Btw, the results were not remotely close to 10% on that test you're referring. With the engine tuned to 100 octane, it had a 1% gain in horsepower (540 to 546) and a 3% gain in torque (509 to 524) with E85. E85 will gain power, but the gains are not significant without tuning accordingly.

It's only not remarkable because the ones that think it's not is a spoiled bunch of bitches that think everything has to pick up 50+hp
This unremarkable 10-20hp gain will likely put my bolt on ls6 over 450whp with changes in tow.

Now, read VERY carefully. Switching to E85 and tuning accordingly to get 10-20whp gain is significant. Without tuning, the gains won't be no where near that, it'll be much less (aka, nothing remarkable).

You get a 10-20whp gain using E85 in lieu of gasoline without any tuning at all? Simply only switching the fuel?

Even crazier is FTW oxygenated ethanol. 5.br0's run it in their lil ole daily drivers because it picks up 30-35 RWHP over pump gas on a stock NA engine.

You can't run E85 without tuning. It's a totally different fuel source. You have to up the amount of fuel burned by a lot because of all the oxygen in it for those big gains. Flex fuel works nice.
