Well, you still have the same amount of ethanol which was what this thread was about, and for reasons I forget, till I hijacked. But good question, according to blue-s the ethanol just helps at detonation, race fuel should pack the rest of the energy on down the the hole, which ethanol won't...

On the other hand, why bother, your car shouldn't be noticeably faster with anything over 93 high test. 91oct and 2 gallons of 1000 should give every thin the alcohol dose plus the added punch...be like real 83 oct.
