[QUOTE="Digital, post: 10343639, member: 66214"] I think you're in the boat of a lot of people that are slightly mis informed about higher octane fuels. E85 isn't going to suddenly give you more power. It'll cool your temps which if you have a cooling issue will allow your car to not pull timing or allow your tuner to be more aggressive with the tune. Like adding timing which results in power, or adding boost, which again results in power. But you won't pump the gas in and see a direct power gain in most instances without a change to your tune. Some of the higher hp cars do see a decent gains though. Each is different. It's like putting 93 octane in a sn95 v6. It doesn't have the tune to adjust for the higher octane so it doesn't gain any more power. There are still people putting it in assuming it does though. [/QUOTE]
