20G-LT and E85

What is everyones thoughts on how this will perform? I am trying to decide if and when I purchase this turbo should I tune for E85 or is it worth it to jump up to C16. I have all the boltons and 272's.

C-16 is the bomb, but E85 has been coming on strong lately. I think if you wanna see some big numbers go for the C-16

Well, haven't you seen BRs thread showing the LT tuned on E85? C16 is great, but are you going to run that 24/7? If so, then go for it, but if not, then you can do E85 24/7 for 1/5th the cost per gallon.

I only drive the Evo when the sun is shining and the weather is warm. I live in Chicago so that day only comes about 90 days a year. So yes the C16 would be what stays in my tank. The car will mainly be used for road racing.

Wow, that's amazing. We get 300 days of sunshine here, but I drive it 365 days a year anyway. I road race it and use alky instead of race gas for the much lower cost and only a little less power. I couldn't imagine being able to have an Evo that only comes out occasionally and only runs on C16. That's what the kids refer to as 'ballin'."

I'm no baller but am gifted enough to no daily drive my evo. I am actually running meth now but every time I am on the track I feel like I watch for a "low" light on my pump more than the road. We get a lot of sunshine here too but the sun could change within an hour.
I guess my biggest question is how much of a difference in power is there really going to be from the two fuels.
