Default Fuel data discussion......

For those in the "know".....how does E85 stackup againt c16 ?? Im interested in detonation resistance and latent heat of vaporization. I know what the professor's say.....E85 = 410 on the latent scale and 108 on the RON scale, the c16 = 135 on the latent scale and 116 on the RON scale.
But Im interested in what the real world says (not in a controlled lab).

Given the two different scenaris...who wins and why ??

1) E85 w/ a2a
2) E85 w/ a2w
3) c16 w/ a2a
4) c16 w/ a2w

Also, could we quantify the difference.....not just winner and loser.


Thanks in advance.....

I'd like to see the results of someone over 1,000whp running the same hardware but E85 vs. C16 turned up as far as each can go.

Yes ^^^^^ agree. If I didnt make it clear, Im speaking of a max situation. Also, any other data that can help "us" distinguish the info.....like D/A, grains and intake temp @ Xpsi..etc....
