e10 is magic. the car drives the same everyday, makes pretty good mpg, and i dont need any special sensors/lines/pumps/inejctors to run it.
i also dont need to run in the upper limits of insanity to impress all my friends and pull out 5 more hp on a setup that's already pushing the limits.

Show me these results please. I want to see them. Becuase yet again I think you're pulling this outa your ***.
Even bolt-on/cammed K series honda engines don't gain more than 5-7hp from e85, let alone a lowly BP.
With boost of course, totally different story. With boost, it really is magic.

all of those statements are highly debateable:
-all my cars drive the same every day on e85.
-it is so much cheaper that even after the mpg difference the mile/$$ is the same or very close
-id550's are the same price as id1000's
-no other special stuff is required

I make a point of calling you on it because I think you're full of it.
I know its beneficial, I love the stuff, and I know its becoming popular faster than pusha got aids, I'm just saying a n/a NB with just bolt ons won't gain 10-15hp on top from e85.
It takes ultra high compression or boost for e85 to be beneficial

While the real advantage of e85 shows up in high compression conditions, there is extra power to be had on a relatively low compression engine as well with the use of a good stand alone. While it burns hotter, the burn rate of e85 is slower and allows for quite a bit more timing which can translate into identifiable increases on the dyno if you know your tuning.
