not sure if a plenum mod would be able to squeeze me out more power.

Roughly. All 3 are a solid 10 in the power band.

So I can just go to a gas station with e85 today and fill up my bone stock 370z engine and it wont hurt my car?

Only if you have GtR injectors. And untill tuned i wouldn't go WOT as you'll be pretty rich. But ok enough to drive on, you're not gonna flood it.

^^^ This I'll need gas today also. :/

so it is safe to say that 20whp is achievable?

You also had a dry sump, jun cam, and retarded manifold and revved 8200 rpms. Most of us won't see those type of gains switching to e85.

Thats expected. Im talking about what he gained. OP's set up could never touch his set up in terms of gains on e85

Up to 20whp is what my tuner told me yesterday.
