BB stroker bracket motor,11.27 to 1 comp. ratio) with both race gas and E85 showed me that the E85 made a little less HP(687 HP on 110 octane race gas, 676 HP on E85 same RPM) but the E85 made 12 to 15 ft. lbs more torque at the same RPM range as the race gas, it runs a lot cooler also Torque is what moves the load, not HP Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)
