E85 is race gas plus additional cooling benefits. (not true race gas but functionally speaking)
What you are saying is true "if you are setup for e85", however you will be able to push more power out of racegas as it is more dense on OEM pumps, you will run out of fueling on E85 pretty soon. Myself at E40, still on OEM FPs, Walbro next.
