E54 here in AZ, which MHD map is best?

Here in Arizona they stopped selling E85 some time ago. They now sell E54 which is a bit of a bummer but oh well. My question is....What is the best ethanol map to run on the MHD. Of the three maps 25%, 40% and 60% i'm guessing i can rule out 25% which leaves me with 40 and 60%. Can i run the E60 map with E54? Currently running MHD only.

Just to confirm is that for all stations in the Phoenix area (I forgot about this & have been adding 4-5 gal of E54 thinking it's E85). I am pretty sure there are online calculators for computing octane content. I'll post the one I use when I get home earlier. You have the freedom to add more E.

Start with the E40 map. Log the car and if it's perfect, try the E60 map and repeat.

Not sure if martial posted a log reading guide for MHD maps. Good place to start is hpfp > 9, lpfp > 50, wastegate duty cycle under 100%, and ignition changes of less than 3 degrees. If you flash the E40 map and do a log we'll help you out. But id suggest searching on google for a how to guide.

Log: 3rd gear at 2500 rpm through redline, shift and continue in 4th as fast as the road allows. Single gear in third is acceptable too. 100% throttle only.
