I ran e85 on my sky redline and went from 290 whp 340 torque to 315 whp 390 torque and yes that is to the wheels on the Trifecta tunes respectively.
E85 will give a lot more power properly tuned. It like race fuel and it goes quick!

Seriously? The Sky Redline was a forced induction vehicle - of course you're going to see good gains from E85. And to be honest, that gain seems pretty modest compared to some gains Ive seen in other FI applications. The 370Z, NATURALLY ASPIRATED, will not see gains like that more than likely.

We (or at least I) were talking how it theoretically couldnt, since I didnt know how much fuel the stock pump could push and what pressure it could maintain, much less how much the injectors could flow. Are you running a stock fuel pump and stock injectors? Because by your sig, it sure looks like you arent, in which case my point remains the same for a forced induction build...
