Old test but cool to see, shows you can add power with just E85. This is my brother's '04 Cobra powered '86 GT.
Its a C4 auto car, but the 3 graphs represent 1) the first year the car was converted to mod-motor with a loose converter 2) tight converter on mix 93/110 gas and 3) after draining the fuel cell and putting in E85 and adding 30%, no timing or other changes.

You can see the E85 alone adds decent power (usually 30-40hp range in most applications), even before tuning and the car also runs at least 10* cooler.
I doubt 75-100 ever even with tuning, probably expect 50rwhp for a converted and tuned E85 GT500 in my estimate. But more benefits than just power.

What is wrong with that car on the dyno chart. 466hp but 620tq? That car must've been pulling timing real bad or something. I've never seen a hp curve that flat.

BiminiLX - Thx for sharing the dyno results. I agree there are more benefits than hp alone.
