Direct injection has a massive impact on detonation resistance. Basically on port injection only, when I was testing that, I could only match OEM HP with E85 and on pump gas I believe I was about 20 whp less.

Direct injection is definitely something worth embracing even with it's limitations which is why I'm really happy the FRS/BRZ also has port injection to supplement fuel delivery.
