I want the fastest one with the most torque that I can make it go faster with software changes on the dyno.

If you want the one that sounds the best, there's plenty of 1990s Holden 304/5L getting around you can have for a couple thousand bucks

As I said I am running a Dreamscience 99+ octane tune.

So I am mixing in 17% e85 in with 98 octane super to boost ocatane.

I am mindful about the problems with lower energy density of E85 and therefore the need to have bigger fuel pump and injectors if going full e85, hence I use a lower mix of e85 with 98 to bump up the octane rating.

And it does make a difference, getting the mix of e85 with 98 compared to 100% 98 I can feel the difference, engine is more crisp and immediate at lower revs, and higher boost and revs just pulls that much harder.

Also the car is built to run ethanol mix fuels, just not 100% e85.
