I'm also unclear how someone can claim a power improvement from going to E85 without any timing adjustments. Can someone explain how that works? I'm at a loss.

if you just switch to e85 without a tune, you won't make any power. with the correct tune you are supposed to make power... not sure how other than it's higher octane rating than 93.
