Mellon Tuning EVO 8 50trim 93 octane vs e85
Interesting comparison between fuels on a 50trim, I was impressed and we were discussing going for 500awhp with a little more boost but we're already pushing the stock rods enough.

I was looking at some logs and thought this might be interesting to share:
93 octane and PTE 880cc at 400awhp put the IDC to 75%
e85 and PTE 1200cc put the IDC to 95%
93 octane and PTE 880cc at 400awhp put the IDC to 75%
e85 and PTE 1200cc put the IDC to 95%

any turbo will do 30psi but you might have to pull so much timing that it become counter productive and leave the car a bit unstable. That's why I usually do 25-28psi on the smaller hotside turbos when working with pump gas. I'm sure with 30psi it will put out more torque but it might suffer up top.

when u pull lots of timing out, the car hp numbers drop a lot right?
