Going by butt-dyno here, but I've long since stopped being snobby and filled up my race bike with the cheap stuff.
That said, E-free with a shot of Seafoam over the winter, especially on carbed bikes is a good idea.

Yeah, the boostaholic guys on NASOIC and Rennlist have caught onto E85. It's the best value in HP-per-dollar spent for fuels. They're easily getting 5% more power at same boost-settings once AFR and ignition optimized for BMT. And with extra octane-overhead of E85, they're able to run even more boost than regular pump-gas, something like 30-psi!!! Getting +10-15% more power from same engine! We're talking about +600bhp from 2.5l 4-bangers!!!
