When the difference is this significant (330whpish vs 450whp) it is a no brainer for me. As far as fuel consumption goes I have lost maybe 1.5mpg on the e50 map I have, however it is a very aggressive tune so if this is a concern for you i'm sure if you just tell your tuner your goals they can adjust accordingly to make sure its not a complete gas guzzler.

Good info, I didn't know it would make that big of a jump, I was imagining maybe 30hp at the most. I put down 359 on the dyno with 93 octane, so if I go protune with E45 (E85/91) I should be hitting around 465hp?

to get E50 on a 16 gallon tank its more like 8.5 gallons of E85 and 7.5 gallons of Pump 91 or 93, based upon regular pump having E10.
50/50 - E85/9x Octane is more like E48.... just saying..

Make since, thanks for clarifying.
