Are you using canned tunes or custom tunes?  Datalogging your track runs can help dial in performance.

5 Star custom tune, 93 octane performance. I was actually just thinking, I kinda made friends with a local shop here while shopping for my tuner. He told me $105 for before and after runs on the dyno. I might do a 93 octane run then a 93 octane 20% E-85 run and see what the results are? 
2013 F-150 Ecoboost Screw 4x4, 5 Star 93 performance tune, Passport 9500, AntiLaser Priority Quad.

Only too happy to egg you on ;)
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Doing them back to back will not tell you anything because adaptive learning takes time to do its job.

Here's some light reading for you...
