Re: q16 or e85
The local shop should be able to get E98, which would be about 1/5 the cost of Q16 with similar results.
Q16 is pretty nice, just make sure the injectors you have are compatable. I have ran c16 in my race cars... I like the results as the fuel has some different characteristics than E85, but it is hard to say which is better.

Re: q16 or e85
E85 is much cheaper, although requires a more expensive fuel system for the additional gas that will be needed Vs. Pump gas to make the same power. Rule of thumb 30% more.
It can get expensive quick when u look at the price of ID's 2000cc, plus the need of a big fuel pump, and depending on power goals bigger fuel lines. If you have e85 in the area it might be better for u if youre budget permits..
Some like just getting race gas here and there for the track, and see that being a better cost effective solution
