Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but in simple terms, its almost like running higher octane gas. It helps with temps, pre-detonation/knock, and allows you to up the boost or timing to make more power.

Yeap, I already know this. I wanted to hear from Nik to see what he had to say.

My wild *** guess would be that the customer doesn't have access to E85.

I understand that it can have that impact and it adds in cooling but they also use it on e85 systems as well. He tuned a car running e90 which is 114 octane and added meth to it so I'm also curious about the use of meth with e85 as it does not require additional cooling and you can remove a heck of a lot of timing using Ignite 114. I know, I'm tuned on it lol!
