I have a honest question. Why are people doing e85 tunes? Why not tune a car for c17 or even q16 race gas? Wouldn't race gas be a hell lot

E85 is like 105 octane for MOAR boost

I would be asking the other question... why would you run race gas when you can run E85? Unless E85 is not in your area, I see no reason to deal with the hassle of race gas... you can fill your tank 7-8 times with E85 for the cost of a single fill up with race gas. You can get it at gas stations, rather than dealing with shipping and storing 55 gallon drums, and you make just as much power.

Why the heck not run E85?
