“What do you call a muscle car that’s been made green?”

NASCAR uses E15, F1 also uses ethanol fuels.

You can boost the crap out of E85 it’s equal or better than 114 octane race gas. My S60 turbo gets an extra 5 psi of boost with E85 that’s with the stock ECU with the boost controller I can push 15 more than with 93 premium I’d have to run race gas to get 15psi extra.

Here is all the technical data you seek.

Welcome to the 21st century boomers

“Running the supercharged 383 on 114-octane race fuel allowed us to get aggressive on the tune. We dialed in 30 degrees of total timing and ran the A/F ratio at 11.8:1. Run with 114-octane Rockett race fuel, the supercharged 383 produced 643 hp and 589 lb-ft of torque at 11.4 psi. After jetting the blower carbs for E85, the power output jumped to 700.1 hp and 646 lb-ft of torque. In addition to the power gains, the E85 dropped the inlet air temps by over 70 degrees, from 166 degrees to 92 degrees!”
