91 AKI = 96 RON
E85 is 94-96 AKI = 102-105 RON

You're right that stretching the stock tires onto 9" wheels would be silly, but 9" wheels with 245 width tires is actually ideal for this chassis, at least for people who autocross/track their cars.

Lotus has a very light font end, and I'm sure the rack ratio and steering wheel diameter are paired with a non-power rack in mind. Want stiffer steering? Get wider tires up front.

Nameless EL header + tune put down a lot of power in the mid range. Everyone is waiting to see what the production unit does. NA exhaust gains usually translate well to supercharged setups.
