My cousin is at 321hp with 680's on E85; look where I'm at with 750s. There's also a guy on tuners with like 440 with 750's. Your 1350's at 38psi are actually like 1260's. Also, there's a big difference between 68% (856cc) and 80%(1008cc) duty cycle, but how much fuel you are using depends on your tune not just your hp (and if the fuel is actually getting to the injectors). Most people I've seen on tuners seem to run E85 really rich - like 11:1 gas afr, which is actually 7.3:1. I can hear my car misfiring if I go even close to that crazy rich and I know I loose power as I go richer (even before misfiring). How I drive, if my tune wasn't safe my engine would be gone -- I could never be as hard on my engine on a drag strip as I am on the road.
I pretty much consider the duty cycle a theoretical number; some people have claimed at times to see higher than 100% duty cycle with no issues-- is that actually possible - NO.
