Default E85 race blend?

Thinking about using a race blend of E85 for my car...I plan on making upwards of 800hp.Fuel system is just dual Bosch 044 and 4 ID2000cc injectors.

So i was wondering for those of you using a E85 race blend, which company are you buying it from and why? I know Sunoco has one (E85-R) VP has one (C85) and Ignite has (E85) not sure what other company to check out. (What are you using and why? )

can FTW e85 be mixed with pump e85? for example, if i drive to the track on pump e85, and its real low .. i get to the track and pour in FTW e85? im asking because my street car is on pump E85. i wouldnt mind trying the FTW at the track for a little extra hp.

If you mix it with pump e85 you'll dilute your Hp gains

Is the MTBE what caused the id2000 to swell?
If so which brands of e85 will not cause them to swell?
