It is very common here. I'm about 10 miles west of the Wisconsin border and about 20 miles east of St. Paul and it plentiful here which is good for the high boost guys. Pretty much every one boosted around here runs E.
It's usually pretty good quality E also

I street raced it for 3 yrs and sold it my boss at the time and he took it to the drag strip and let me make a pass. I ran a 12.3@107 mph

Weight is the big killer for a 4l60e but in something lighter like a c5 vette you can build them to hold 700+ hp.
Also as far as a th 400 goes, not everyone wants to drive down the highway without over drive and a non lockup converter.
And none of the transmission have anything to do with first gear. None of the mentioned transmissions have first gear issues.
You're right. If you want to drag race, the auto is the way to go unless you're Grubworm. That car is mind blowing.

Well there are catted and non-catted DP's, I'd NEVER EVER do the latter, it's sooooo loud🫣
My tune tunes out a CEL from either cat but I'll cross that bridge IF I have to. A cat-back that makes power/tq is the way to go but you don't get as much gain on a tuned car though, weird, huh
I've got time to sort it out but those N Performance CF tips WILL make it onto my EN

E85 makes good power. It loses mpg. It also has a more limited shelf life than non ethanol gas.
That’s fine, I still like my shitty trans car. When I could finally buy one of these, I decided on lower mileage cars with an auto vs extremely clapped out t56 cars that were in my budget.
If budget weren’t a concern I’d have looked at low mileage 6 speed ws6 cars, firehawks, or a SOM SS.
