How much power can be made on E-85 N/A???
Is their a compression limit , and or cylinder pressure limit, I heard of a turbo car going in the 8's on it but can you build a 8000rpm N/A motor with say 14 or 15:1 compression?

e98 can go up to about 19 to 1 , true e85 around 15 to 1 , if your in an area that gets cold and has seasonal blends you would be best served to build for 70% e - keep it under 13 to 1

you will to add fuel delivery capacity but if you have it around you the benefits of being able to run higher compression , more timing and much lower intake charge temps will be great.

its 2 states away for me so I havent converted anything but have done some blending on a different (boosted) platform and its good stuff you will enjoy it
