E85 gains
How much more power did you guys see with e85 with your blower and meth. Or just blower. Just curious is it worth the money. I have a station 1 mile up the street from my house

Even with zero gains it is worth it IMO just for safety.
Gains can depend wildly on setup. Anywhere from 20-100rwhp. I see 4-5 degrees more timing on e85, and could probably push it more. That isn't even touching boost. If you crank boost up over what crap gas can provide, gains can be huge.
Also depends, crap cali/az 91 or good 93-94 octane as a base? Gains from good pump to e will be less than crap pump to e.

If it's available just do it. Best mod I've done to date other than the Mantic 9000.
