I talked to Ben yesterday, He put down 30whp with E70 on his flex fuel sensor setup. Seems to be adjusting good to different mixtures. His car is obviously not stock though. Based on what he is seeing, we are expecting to gain 20+whp on a factory car with headers. We start testing soon, and I plan on sharing all the juicy details.

how about adding another set of injectors?
I like the idea of a megasquirt coming on line under boost and having a separate pump/regulator and return line dedicated to it
maybe even dual fuel, pump gas for croozin, e85 or pure alchy for boost

Pump gas and a 32% fuel lobe is good enough for 800-900ish hp without meth. With meth they can make over 1000. if you're trying to do it with e85 you will have less head room when trying to make a bigger number as the max volume of the mechanical pump (with the 32% fuel lobe) will be reached sooner than it would on gas due to the larger volume of fuel required by e85.
If you ask me, The gain you'll make by using E85 will be negated by running out of fuel at a lower RPM. Either way there will be a supply issue at some point if its making any sort of big power.
I would prefer to run pump gas on these cars when trying to make bigger power.
