My guess is 520whp at best. You won't make more than you did on 110 before.

The difference is, you won't be paying the same price per gal for the E85 that you did for the 110.

However, several shop tuners have proven to make considerable more power on E85 than on 110. I think you could possibly hit 580 whp.

Here is a shop in Phoenix where the tuner made 90whp and 100wtrq with E85 over 110. It's a GSX, but close enough. Pretty impressive!

Every single car we have retuned on E85 from 110 has made more power.

To the OP, what boost level currently on 110?

That's why I questioned him. I thought I've read that various people have made more power on E85 compared to 110...

Plus this guy is adding a couple of parts that SHOULD make more power that his previous setup...

We actually retuned the shop race car last week on E85. before it was running C16.

It made more power than C16 at less boost on E85.

Not currently public for the shop car.

Here is an example Evo chart showing 110 to E85:
