Oh, thought it was more for some reason... everyone on the other stang board made it seem like a bad ass first mod. 10 hp isnt even noticeable.

A member did a back to back dyno pull. One with 93 and one with e85 and he picked up 8 rwhp and 13 rwtq. Now on boosted cars is a different story. But on boosted cars its more for safety.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

Yeah i kinda figured it wouldn't much of a gain when I searched and couldn't find much. 30HP by switching fuel would have people talking.
