Your figures for the power you have are actually quite good. When driven into the boost these cars are thirsty that's no secret.

What all do you need to change to go to E85? and how does it increase your HP?

Ive got a tbe, But i don't think its ever been tuned, and Im happy to get 240. Only 60k miles. Even my wife driving slow only gets 230ish. i think the most I got was 265 and that was on a trip with 55 mph speed limits. I get terrible mileage at 80.

Mainly just a a fuel pump and some bigger injectors (cause u have to flow more of it than pump gas). It's ethanol and 105 octane so it more stable under higher cylinder pressures and resists knock (detonation) more than pump gas, therefore u can run more boost and more aggressive timing resulting in more power but poopy fuel mileage. Who needs mileage when u gain hp.
