Oh now were only talking bone stock stuff huh? Wow, guessed you missed the part where Bonnewagons carb isn't stock spec. You said ANY engine would run worse with ethanol and no other changes, now mine doesn't count huh. Aren't you one of the guys that says in order to run aluminum heads you have to have more compression or it'll make less power too? If it make you feel any better i'll take the belt of and run it. You can't make any assumptions about how optimized my engine is for anything. You are stating that an engine set up to run 100% gas will run like sh*t with E10. Mine has always been set up for 100% gas until I just decided to throw in 30-40% ethanol not just 10% and it's just fine, boost or no boost.
Now just because Boonewagon's engine picked up with a jet change still doesn't mean it was because of ethanol. Who's to say the place he is getting gas isn't using junk gas. Or that jetting it up didn't just mask another problem he hasn't discovered yet.
I still haven't seen how you can justify counting the ethanol out of the a/f ratio in your example, just to make it "look" leaner.
