The best fuel to use is the one that you will be using most often for the purpose of the car . E85 is not considered to be a race fuel regardless of its properties that allow for higher boost. Read up on the pros and cons for E85 use on non-FLEX fuel OEM fuel system hard components and the fact that the BTUs are half of pump gas, which means you'll more than likely be going to fill up more often if using it for a "daily driver" application. E85 can work, but understand the difference between that and traditional race fuels as you mentioned above.

Whatever you plan to use, tune it with that or those fuels.

If you want to use 93 Octane, then use 93 octane. Like we said, its based upon whats in your area, your power goal, etc. Just be aware, 93 octane can only go so far if over 500whp level
