I'm willing to run more ethanol but it seems what I have read is after around e50 the returns are pretty diminished. Any opinions on best ethanol mix for most power and knock prevention?

Out of the well known remote tuners like wedge, cary jordan, halim etc who is best known for making great maps for us pneumatic folks? Any advice would be great. Thanks guys.

Which tuner did you end up going with? Pureboost? David Shoup? How is your car running?

Did you end up going higher than E30? Is there any downside to going E40 or E50 in terms of mpg?

You will lose mpg the higher ethanol % you go to just by nature of the lower energy content of the fuel, even if you drive exactly the same.

I ended up going with a local tuner Kassel Performance as I wanted to get the tune done on a Dyno. I tuned it on e50 and I still manage about 20mpg if I don't go crazy pulling every gear. I'm going to be adding methanol to cool down iat's and make a bit more power and I'm going to try out a custom meth/e50 tune with Wedge in the spring.
