Matt's car may have been at the point where he wouldn't gain anything by using it but you should see SOMETHING I would imagine if you were tuned for it.

Well the VDubs may be so bottled up that it makes a huge difference for them. There's no denying you should be able to run a bit more boost and timing with a higher octane fuel so just get tuned for it. You may not see E85 numbers but I have a hard time believing you won't see ANYTHING.

I buy my meth from Speed Unlimited since it's right outside the of the base. I thought about running 110 but with the price then having to drive up to PA for a tune tweak it's just not worth it right now.

What makes running 110 different on the LNF than on many other turbo motors- Running 110 typically makes more power because you can add more boost, add timing, and lean out the mixture. However, with supporting mods on the LNF, you can already max the stock turbo and run a 12.8:1 afr on 93 octane. This takes away two of the three advantages that you can normally utilize. Spark timing is also different on the LNF than on most other motors. The design of the piston makes injection timing and placement critical which may require some adjustments to get the most out of slower burning, higher octane racing fuel. Yes, you can get gains from 110, but don't expect more than a few hp at best. On the LNF, gains from Ethanol or methanol are mostly from the increase in energy availble from the overall amount of fuel being burned.

Hey Matt, did you try leaning it out a little further than 12.8:1 at all on the 110 Octane?

From my understanding, these motors respond better to AFR changes than timing.

Yes, I believe I ran 13.0-13.1 or right around there.

No stone left unturned

No power increase I'm assuming?

It's been a while, so I don't remember the exact numbers, but I do remember that we were pretty disappointed because the gains were next to nothing.
