Awesome! I've always wanted to try the e85 blend for the boost in octane. I have only used race fuels and hijacked 100LL avgas mixes in my go fast cars. namely my M3, 2004 wrx, and 88 supra turbo. the NA car liked the octane but the boosted cars loved it. especially the avgas mixes as it didnt mess with fuel pressures. il try some and log when my tuner comes in.
E85 is AWESOME!

I see around 2100 psi max I believe, never really looked but here's a video for you

FYI, via Torque Pro, I have observed a torque boost. I never saw over 298 WTQ before adding E-85. Now I am seeing 305-310 with one romp showing 318. I am on day 2 of the higher mix. Something I did see today was 310 TQ in 3rd gear low rpm high boost acceleration. Kinda surprised me.

If it happens again, it could be you don't have enough fuel. Can you log FRP ( after DI pump) It needs to stay above 1,000 PSI. I ran a mix of E-85 at the strip a few weeks ago. Not sure how much it helped. Had my best Non-Methanol spray 1/8 mi times ever. Of course I also have a Kenne Bell BAP to increase the LPFP volume by spinning it up to 50% faster.
So today I was out running some errands and "playing" a bit. I was paddle shifting in SPORT mode playing with my shift points a'la 4DR's shift point thread.
4 way stop, slow roll out and punched it...car started moving to the right (not where it was pointed) it kind of startled me as the car never behaved like this before. Traction has never been an issue...looked at my phone and torque showed 323.2 WTQ @ 3739 RPM. I'm really irritated with myself for lifting but like I said, it caught me off guard.
Conditions were 50 degrees, dry and level pavement.
I think 4DR is right, the ECU in this car is very intelligent both with the ability to save itself from ruin, but also being able to increase power if it likes what it sees. Torque NEVER showed more than the high 290's before E85. (Which from the stock dynos I've seen seems pretty accurate.

Maybe this isn't the place for this... but my WIFE put E-10 87 in our G8 that is cammed, and tuned for 93... Luckily she was only driving on the interstate....
We have been married for 45 years... WHAT CAN I SAY???? G8 is going into 6 mo storage... guess I need to add some 93!!!! Wanted it near empty when it sits.
