Ecu map

So I read that the little engine in our i8's is putting out 25 psi of boost with a CR of 9.5. That's serious. I wonder how much extra power could be grabbed by a simple ecu tune to run on race fuel. Anyone tried just that?

Most of the tunes available are extracting 40-60 HP more from the engine on pump gas
