Yes a member on here has dynoed tested both setups. I'm sorry I can't remember his member name.. maybe he will chime in.

Basically an 8% gain was noticed in favor of the E-85 setup without changing anything but the fueling. If I remember correctly these numbers were repeatable using different cars.

EDIT : Ok I found the thread here that mentions the tests: 600+ rwhp on E85, what would I need for convesion His name is Quick86GN

Hopefully I haven't mis-quoted the test results. Again maybe Quick86gN will chime in and give us details.
