E99 Tuning Experience

So who here has E99 tuning experience. Interested in hearing about yours.

Have tuned a few car's with it now. Very interesting fuel and very good for certain applications.
Have found that it uses roughly 61% more fuel than normal pump fuel. Brings turbo's on very aggressively. Almost 1000rpm earlier than pump fuel.

No E99 experience but did play with ignite 114. Quickly found that I did not have enough injectors or pump for it. also the cost over regular e85 was to much.
And have noticed how the fuel helps with turbo spool. Makes a journal bearing turbo act like a ball bearing one.
Now on E85 and very satisfied with it so far. Think the afr is good for now and going to make timing adjustment next time out. Hope to run 155mph in the 1/4 soon.

Alcohol is hygroscopic and it is difficult to get e99, let alone e95. Even then, by US law, you have to cut the fuel by 3% so it is not subject to human consumption taxes; even if you have the TTB Form 5110.74 you cannot get away with it here in the US.

I got some E100 From a guy that has a still and used it to pass emissions. Didn't do much tuning with it, but it seemed to work pretty good.
It was mixed with E85 so I was probably running E92 or something.
