Believing tuner-posted graphs is your own choice. Graph in the first post here barely shows any gains worth bothering for like $700.
If you want to run E85 in a car that already squeals like a bitch on E10 gas - it's your choice. Just be prepared to pony up cash to have HPFP installed when the TSB finally comes out and everyone else gets it for free.
The Magnuson-Moss act won't protect you from the manufacturer refusing to cover anything power-train related (including TSBs fixing OEM defects) when you mod it to non-oem spec. If you don't believe me - ask Audi owners. Audi recently starting checking for re-flashed ECUs on every visit to the dealers and if found, denying any factory-paid work to the drivetrain afterwards. Only a matter of time before more OEMs are doing it.
So in my opinion these measly gains aren't worth bothering with, given the reliability/warranty coverage/price trade-offs involved.
