I autocrossed using E85 last weekend. If anything, i had too much power and ended up getting sloppy and drifting most of the course Didnt have the best times, but i probably had the most fun and pissed off a lot of cone workers

I did the same a couple weekends ago.. even with the boost turned down it still wanted to get a little drift happy. (although it was mostly because of my driving..)

I've had a couple track customers go faster with 50whp less.

Yes i agree. I am more of a rallyx person. When rallyxing i turn down to 16psi. And have posted some of my best times when i had an intercooler hose split open. a duct tape fix allowed me to get 7psi. It also allowed me to put down faster times than the rally car class. Its almost an art trying to control all that power.
