This is true, however the aforementioned 760 WHP on E85 run was in Cali around sea level. The only time we've had the car on a dyno up here at elevation was on pump gas when it made 610 WHP running rich, and then again once it was retuned making 710 WHP at lambda ~0.83-0.84.
I wonder if the tuner has logs of this car on the dyno running E85 at sea level. Would be interesting to see if their fueling headroom was from running it lean with catalytic protection disabled. I might shoot the tuner a message out of morbid curiosity.
